Disable or change exit command key

Is there any way to disable or change the exit command key (Cmd Q). It is too close on the keyboard to Cmd A?

I resolved a work around by setting a screen capture program to grab the Cmd-Q before Safari sees it. Much better than losing work done in a text box and then having the browser close while trying to save the work to the clipboard and accidentally hitting Cmd-Q.

Ibook command key changed command comma opens finder preferences?

My kids were playing with my ibook 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and somehow they changed the command key to command + comma. Now when the command key is pressed the finder preferences or if in an application is open the preferences open this also happens when the comma key is pressed. I've looked everywhere on the web but can't find and answer.

Does this happen with both Command keys ?.
Either way : start in Recovery mode then choose 'Get help online' (there's no need to connect to a network)
Safari should open.
Press the command key : does preferences open, as before ?.
If so, it would seem to be a hardware problem, since the limited Recovery system & included Safari can't be modified by settings changed when started normally.
Restart your computer to return to normal mode.

Command Key Zooms?

It seems that with the upgrade to Mavericks, when I hold the Command key down and try to Scroll, the screen enlarges.
I am trying to select certain files by using the Command key and I need to scroll without the screen doing this.
Is there a way to change this Command key behavior?
Thank you,
Scott

That option was enabled in Mac OS X Snow Leopard by default, but not in OS X Mavericks.
To disable it, open System Preferences > Accessibility > Zoom, and untick the second option you can see in the System Preferences window.

What is the default key command for the COMMAND key?I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key it hides all windows or shows desk top I need to correct this as soon as possible-.any ideas?

What is the default key command for THE COMMAND (apple) key? I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key (only) it hides all open windows and shows the desk top and when I push it again it shows all windows again...I need to return to default A.S.A.P. just this one key...Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

Go to
 > System Preferences > Keyboard
Click on the 'Keyboard' tab and hit the 'modifier keys...' button. You can see and change the defaults there.
As I'm not sure if all the labels are the same in Lion, he's a screenshot from Snow Leopard. It should be similar enough:

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.

How could I turn off the Command Key to Windows Key mapping in Remote Desktop for Mac 8

I'd like to be able to turn the Command key->Windows key mapping off. In this new app, whenever I use the Command key to initiate a Mac-side function, it registers a press of the Windows key within the Remote Desktop session. Speaking only
for myself, I use the Command Key for quite a lot of Mac operations, while my need and expectation for a Windows key press is zero.

Agreed. Cannot stop it by disabling the "Windows" key (from within Windows 7). Every time I Cmd-Tab to change apps, the Start Menu pops up,
and persists, overlaying other app windows. Much more than annoying.
Also, there is no Clipboard Sharing, apparently. Love typing in long binary strings into the Registry.

My Left Command key shows the desktop and can't be used for other functions

My Left Command key shows the desktop when pressed in.
So if I try and copy (command + C) I end up staring at the desktop....This only happens with the left key. When checking System Preferences, none of the settings in keyboard preferences seems to be relevant. I have reset the keyboard setting to default, but it makes no difference. Also this only happens with my user, when changing user on same laptop I get the normal behaviour for the Left command key
I am using a Macbook Pro i7 (2011) Yosemite and am upto date with all software

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

AT EXIT-COMMAND in ABAP OO

I need to execute some instructions when user exit from the program.
Something like AT EXIT-COMMAND in PAI.

Command key shortcuts don't work anymore in Safari since upgrade to Yosemite!

Hi,
I recently upgraded the MacOSX to Yosemite. Since this moment Safari doesn't work properly anymore, because the command key shortcuts are out of order.
Cmd + Q
Cmd + C
Cmd + V
Cmd + X
These are now the key shortcuts I've noticed that aren't working anymore. Other apps (a part from Firefox) don't seem to have these problems.
In the meantime I have to use the mouse cursor and choose from the menu bar.
Apple support wasn't able to help me! They just gave me the advice force quit Safari and restart it while pushing the ALT-key. Result: Nothing!
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regard,
Steven

That is rather odd if they are all visible as shortcut commands.
Here are some more tests to do…
1) Disable all your Safari Extensions & retest (in Safari Preferences).
2) Logout of the account (from the Apple menu). At the login window enter your password & hold shift as you click the login button. Keep it held until the Desktop has become usable. This disables 'User login items' - retest. Logout after testing.
3) Try a safe boot… OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Does it still happen in safe mode? This disables third party extensions & some inessential Apple system extensions - things will not be normal, however the Mac should be 'functional', test as much as you can.
Post the results of those here, it may give us a better idea where to look.

MODULE AT EXIT-COMMAND not triggered

Hi,
I have placed module USER_COMMAND_9000 at exit-command in PAI but it will never be called whenever I click on button Entr, Back, Exit and Canc. I have activated the interface and everything else, also set the function key. Below is my code.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_9000.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_9000 AT EXIT-COMMAND.
MODULE STATUS_9000 OUTPUT.
SET PF-STATUS 'STATUS_9000'.
SET TITLEBAR 'TITLE_9000'.
ENDMODULE.                 " STATUS_9000 OUTPUT
MODULE USER_COMMAND_9000 INPUT.
CASE sy-ucomm.
    WHEN 'ENTR'.
      PERFORM populate_output.
    WHEN 'BACK'.
      LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
    WHEN 'EXIT'.
      LEAVE PROGRAM.
    WHEN 'CANC'.
      LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.                 " USER_COMMAND_9000 INPUT

Hi,
Do the following.
In the screen flow logic.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_1000.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE exit AT EXIT-COMMAND.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_1000.
Now in F01,
MODULE exit INPUT.
CASE sy-ucomm.
     WHEN 'ENTR'.
       PERFORM populate_output.
     WHEN 'BACK'.
       LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
     WHEN 'EXIT'.
       LEAVE PROGRAM.
     WHEN 'CANC'.
       LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
ENDCASE.
endmodule.                 " exit INPUT
Thanks,

My command key does not work properly

I changed my left command key on my macbook pro to a different function. When I hit the left command button it responds by darkening the desktop background and then showing smaller versions of all the applications I have open. Similar to mission control but not quite mission control. I have searched around and cannot find a solution. I am running mac os x version 10.7.5 on my macbook pro. I have restored default funtion in the system perferences under mission control and keyboard shortcuts. I have zapped the pram. Is there anyone who has any suggestions to solve this issue? Anyone?

Go to System preferences on the Apple menu, then go to "International" pane in the system preferences pane.
Select Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer. Click "Show on the menu bar".
Now on the menu bar there is a flag, probably an American flag, click on it and select "Show Keyboard Viewer"
As you change the fonts or type you will see the kb acting dynamically.
Check back if it does not solve your problem.

Move tool issue : Command key + mouse dragging for moving any layer not working in PS CC

I'm trying to move a layer within the document by holding command key and mouse dragging (mouse cursor not above the layer) is not working at all while using move tool. Suddenly this functionality stopped working. Now I have to place my cursor on layer to be move and drag with mouse. Also pressing command key changing auto select option from layer to group.
Please help.

Usually when a tool is not working as expected, a Reset of that tool might be the answer.
Select the move tool in the toolbox,
Go to the move tool icon on the top left of the screen (just above the toolbox in its' Option bar) and Ctrl-click on it to get the Reset menu.
Click on Reset Tool.

Remap Left and Right Command Keys as Different Buttons?

Hello,
I'm suffering from the dreaded emacs pinky (yes, I've already changed the caps-lock key to ctrl) and I want to know if it is possible to set the left and right command keys to different options.
For example, to keep the right command key as command, but have the left function as ctrl.
Thanks for any help.

I think the answer is the same as last year. Don't know of any way to do that.
