How do you disable the shortcut key in Mail that deletes all mail in the trash folder

Is there a way to disable the shortcut key in Mail in Mountain Lion that deletes all mail in the Trash folder in all accounts: <shift><command><delete> ?
I did it once by mistake and it deleted all my trash - it is very difficult to restore when there are thousands of messages in various emaiil accounts.
Thanks

While you can't (so far as I know) remove it - you can assign a different (& less likely to be used accidentally) one via System Preferences - Keyboard - Shortcuts.
Go there, create a new one (or 2) for Mail only, and give it the exact name(s) if the menu item(s) in question, capitalisation & ... included.
Below is on 10.6, but the idea's the same

  • How do you disable repeat when key is down?

    When you press a key on your keyboard and hold that key down
    (the "A" key for example), after a second or so, it would start to
    repeat (so you would get "AAAAAA..." depending on how long you hold
    it down). This is really inconvenient for me in Flash and was
    wondering if there is a way to disable this or stop this from
    happening.
    I have this code in a file:
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, moveBox);
    I only want the moveBox function to be executed once, but if
    a key is held down for longer it executes multiple times.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    -Robert K.

    An approach to try is to remove the event listener in the
    listener function for the keyDown event and then add the event
    listener again in the keyUp event listener.

  • HT1296 How do you sync your iPod to another computer without deleting all the data?

    I recently got a new MacBook Air and I found out that if I sync my iPod touch with my new computer instead of my old one all my data will be deleted.
    How do I sync my iPod without deleting all my information?

    You can't, so you'll need to get all your data, apps and content to the new computer before you allow the sync. See this support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    You can also download most of your content (the notable exceptions being movies, some of which can be redownloaded if you're in the US, and audiobooks) again from the iTunes Store:

  • The last Mountain Lion update simply deleted ALL contents from my downloads folder. Thank you very much, Apple.

    I updated my Mountain Lion yesterday with the latest system update and after reboot, much to my dismay, EVERY file I had on my downloads folder was permanently deleted.
    Months and months downloading research material for my business plan, all gone.
    Thank you very much, Apple.

  • How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

    I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
    My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
    Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
    Thanks.

    This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
    You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
    English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
    You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
    The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
    I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

    can anyone told me :how to setting the shortcut key to show destop ?

    Raynman was asking about what desktop environment you use in archlinux.  It is clear what you want to do, but the answer to your question depends on which Desktop Environment (like Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc) or Window Manager you are using.

  • How can I keep my child from UNBLOCKING contacts or numbers I have blocked? I know in restrictions when you disable account changes at least on ios 6,this greyed out the iMessage button so the kids couldn't deactivate their text feature.

    Here's the issue.  Kids got themselves into some trouble on iPods.  We set all restrictions any turned off iMessage etc, which I noticed they can't turn back on bc it's gray with the don't allow account changes set.  BUT, it still allows Wi-Fi to be turned on and off!  How can I disable them being able to turn that on wo asking me??  In ios 7, the blocking feature, fabulous, BUT, how can I keep the kids from UNBLOCKING numbers I have blocked?  What I am looking to do actually is allow my kids to be able to text family but block everyone else.  And ask me to turn on wi fi.  How and can this even be done?  Right now my d text is turned off completely.  And she knows the inside and out of her device so she can turn wi fi on herself.  On vacation she entered the wi fi code of our condo and so I did forget network, which didn't work and wi fi kept connecting anyway wo requiring password again!  HELP!  Thanks :)  Also, they have iPods now but am asking these questions based on them getting our 4s's with ios 7.

    TeresaBoo, I empathize with your dilemma and have a similar problem. I'm trying desperately to keep my teenage daughter away from a controlling and abusive boyfriend. Of course, she is in denial and thinks it's love. Sure, I can block text messages through our wireless provider, but iMessages run on an independent network. I can block a phone number from iMessaging on her phone, but she can unblock it just as easily. I wish there was some way for parents to create a password to protect settings. Don't let negative comments get you down. Honestly, if someone can't relate to your question or offer help, why are they even bothering to comment??

  • How can I disable a shortcut in the LabVIEW development System?

    I'm using LabVIEW with a swiss keyboard. However if I will use the #
    sign I have to press "als Gr"  +  #. But LabVIEW will always
    enable/disable the grid because this is also a grid shortcut...
    Is there a way to disable the alt + #  function? Can I simply edit a "LabVIEW.rtm" file to disable this shortcut?
    My current work aaround is to copy the sign from word into LabVIEW...

    Hi,
    Unfortunately the keyboard shortcuts are only editable in LV 8.0.
    For a list of keyboard shortcuts in LV 7.x look at the following link:
    http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/D6B3873AFCF2CB7886256D2B006F4071?OpenDocument&node=13210...
    In LV 8.0 you can edit the shortcuts in Tools->Options in the category Menu Shortcuts.
    I hope it helps.
    Best Regards,
