Disable Command Shift Q

I'm trying to disable the log off keystroke. I keep triggering it and I want it gone or changed to something more obscure. I've tried BetterTouchTools but I couldn't figure out how to make it disable the keystroke after I changed it. Can anyone help because this is getting really frustrating.

Firefox wouldn't let me toggle the browser.warnOnQuit setting in about:config, but from http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2003050112482698 I got this trick that reassigns 'Quit Firefox' to Command-Shift-Q:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents '{"Quit Firefox" = "@$Q";}'

How can I disable command-shift-option-Q?

I'm in charge of 30+ iMacs where I work and the users are occasionally being logged off when trying to do their work. They apparently are hitting the command-shift-option-Q keys which are automatically logging them off without warning.
These are real-time applications that need to run 24-7 so this messes up their work.
Is there any way, from the command line, that I can disable these key combinations?
Thanks for any help.

Keyboard Shortcut for bullets (Command-Shift-L) no longer works

Hey Guys,
It seems so odd and I find it so irritating that I have been using this keyboard shortcut which is Command-Shift-L for bullets in Outlook, Notes and almost any word processing applications. All of a sudden this seems to have gone and now replaced by a Google Search. I tried researching a lot on the internet and found many articles which confirmed that this was indeed a keyboard shortcut but I couldnt find even one which could tell me what happened to it and how to make it work again. I've got so used to this shortcut because my work involves mainly around drafting emails and documents.
I have Macbook Pro Retina 13inch 2013 model & running Mac OSX 10.9.4 OS.
Now I did find one website link which told me how to disable the Safari trigger for this shortcut and I was successful in removing that shortcut. But I am stuck at the point where it's just blank. So now when I press these keys, nothing happens because no shortcut is set to it. I am moving in circles and would really appreciate if anyone can help.
P.S I've already gone through many links which say create paragraphs, this and blah blah but sorry I am not interested in that....Some links also say that Option + 8 key works for the bullets but that doesnt work for me either. However, I dont want that too. I would want the original shortcut which was there and would really appreciate if someone can tell me how to get it back or even configure it back to the way it was. Sorry for being rude but I am just frustrated with the long hours I have spent in fixing this silly issue and don't want the similar answers which I have already come across on the other links. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your reply. I can't seem to find the bullets option in Shortcuts. Could you give me more details on how to make that happen.
There is no bullets option in Shortcuts. Defining shortcuts works by binding menu items in an application to a key combination. You have to find the name of a menu item in the application you are using.
For example in "Notes" is a menu "Format > Lists > Insert Bulleted List"
To bind it to the shortcut "⇧⌘L" open the Keyboard System Preferences > Shorttcuts tab and press "+" to add an application shortcut.
Type the name of the menu item "Insert Bulleted List" and enter the key combination.
This will work in "Notes", but you have to identify the names of menu items that will produce bullets in your other applications, if you want to add the shortcut for them.

How to restore command shift 3 instead of grab

I always used command+shift+3 to photograph the desktop and command+shift+4 to photograph a selection of the screen. Then, one day I lost it and had to use Grab, which it takes longer to use. Can anyone help me restore that?
Thank you.

Is "Examiner" a feature of one of your add-ons? I don't seem to have that. Some extensions let you remap or disable their keyboard shortcuts. You could try the Options buttons on this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

The Full Screen icon does not appear in Firefox 16.0.2 on Mac OS 10.6.8, and command+shift+F does not close the full screen view.

I accidentally entered full screen view and was unable to exit. The Firefox Help article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-make-firefox-and-websites-go-full-screen?esab=a&s=full+screen+mac&r=0&as=s says I should see a Full Screen View icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Firefox window. That icon not there. I cannot find it. It does not appear in either the full screen or non-full screen views.
Further, the Help article's advice to exit full screen view by using the keyboard sequence command+shift+F does not work. I had to unplug my iMac and reboot. Firefox then opened in non-full screen view.
Ideally, hitting the Escape key would cause Firefox to exit full screen view.

I forgot one detail. This happened while I was having trouble seeing the mouse cursor (I use Apple's Magic Mouse). It had disappeared briefly. I had to drag the cursor out of the Firefox Window for it to reappear. I accidentally entered full screen view while the cursor was not visible.

Disable command-tab and/or kill dock

Hello,
Is there a clever terminal command or a simple hack that will disable command-tab switching between apps? If not, can I kill the dock completely to regain the ability to use command-tab in QuarkXPress?
This keyboard shortcut conflict is driving me nuts trying to stay productive in Quark. The PullTab haxie is not Leo-friendly yet, so I need a solution ASAP.
Thanks!!!

There is no way to disable command-Tab that I am aware of. Can you assign a new key combo to quark's command-tab feature?

Disable commands BUG under Sun-Solaris 10 ?

If you execute a disable commands while another user is justdoing a "force restructure",you got no error and the command "display application"shows the command-flag with false. But every user can still execute a "force restructer",even if the user log in later. This behaviour occurs under OS=Sun Solaris with essbase Version9.2.0.1,under windows with essbase version 9.2 Build 082 it worksfine. Is this a known BUG ?

I can't help you solaris tuning, but some things to look at.
1. Is the Essbase.cfg file the same on both servers? You might have parallel calculation turned on in one and not the other. Caches could also be set differently
2. Are the database caches set the same? This could impact performance as well
3. Are you doing an apples to apples comparison? Is one database loaded and recalculated many times while the other is not (or restructured or reloaded)

Any idea why command-shift-delete is not working?

I have had a MacBook Pro for a few years, and recently purchased a new iMac. the iMac arrived, and I transferred everything from the MBP to the iMac using the Migration Assistant. Worked very well, from what I can tell. The only thing I am unable to do is delete using shift-delete and empty the trash using command-shift-delete.
I should also say that I did the initial setup of my iMac with a separate Admin account, then deleted that account to use the old account from my MBP on the iMac. I suspect this is a permissions issue, and I have seen articles that suggest deleting this trash account and letting OS X recreate.
Any thoughts on what else to try?
Thanks in advance for any help!

baltwo - I acknowledge that I wrote this incorrectly as shift-delete. That said, I am unable to delete a file/folder using command-delete. Also, unable to empty the trash using command-shift-delete.
I had already tried resetting my keyboard shortcuts, and this did not help either.
And these shortcuts worked on my MBP prior to the migration.
do appreciate the reply and attempt.

How to disable Command-F1 toggle display

This has been asked before but it was years ago and never answered. I want to disable Command-F1 toggling between mirroring and extended desktop modes on my 2 20" Apple Cinema displays. HOW can I do this? Or is it even possible?

Use KeyRemap4Macbook (now known as Karabiner). It takes a while to learn how to use it, but it's very powerful. The following custom setting in private.xml works for me to simply disable this keyboard shortcut:
 <item>
 <name>Disable Mirroring Shortcut</name>
 <identifier>private.disable_mirroring_shortcut</identifier>
 <autogen>--ConsumerToKey-- ConsumerKeyCode::BRIGHTNESS_DOWN, VK_COMMAND, KeyCode::VK_NONE</autogen>
 </item>

Command+Shift+; to spell check in Safari 5.1 causes reload of webpage, losing all my work?

When I'm writing something in a Safari window pain on a web page and there is a spelling or grammar error and it's detected by under lining the word with red dotted lines. I use Command+Shift+; to bring up the spell/grammar tool. When I click the Ignore button on the to skip/disregard the word, Safari reloads the webpage and I loss all my content. It works ok if I accept the change thats offered or even use any of the other Buttons on the Spelling and grammar tool. This just happens when I use Ignore Button since up grading to Lion (OS 10.7) and Safari 5.1. Must be a Bug. Any suggestions?

Go to ~ / Library / Caches / com.apple.Safari.
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, use the Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu bar.

Upgrade check: command-shift-double-click has no effect

We're installing Adobe Creative Suite 2 Design Premium. We have what should be a valid serial number for a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium. However, the installer terms it invalid.
Someone else in my company just spend a long time with customer service trying the solution of activating the upgrade code window (where you can bypass the problem by confirming a number given by customer service). The instructions are to command-shift-double click on the Invalid Serial Number window. Well, he's done that clicking combination everywhere on the screen, and it's caused nothing to happen except sometimes selecting the text.
Is there any other way to bring up that window? Does it require an active connection to customer service to even bring up the window in the first place? Is there any larger workaround we could try?

Correct Lenoxus it is possible the unlocking function may no longer work under Mac OS 10.9.3. Thank you for the update that our support team was able to generate a non-upgrade serial number after verifying the validity of your upgrade.
For future viewers of this discussion you can contact our support team at Contact Customer Care. I would also recommend reviewing Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html and ensuring your serial number is registered under your account.

Then you changed it in CS6. The normal preset usage for that preset is to Redo an Undo.

Command-Shift-Delete no longer works in Mail

I could easily delete Mail Trash using Command-Shift-Delete. Now that no longer works.

NOW I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS...--> THE FONT!!!
I always use monospaced fonts for email, by preference; it's easy to line up things. The problem is the font. Change the font to something other than what you're using, I just selected Arial and then the italic feature worked!!! Hope this helps!
It isn't about whether it's monospaced, it's about whether the font contains the style variants. Clearly Apple is taking the position of the typographic purist, which means they won't fake a bold or italic like in the old days, they only want to use it if it actually exists.

There is a conflict with third party software or your system keyboard shortcuts. Lately, there have been many postings about conflicts with Chrome extensions so check there first.
It's not a new problem. I wrote about it on InDesignSecrets.com in 2006:
