Disable Command-Q for quitting applications
Authored by: glenno on Nov 19, '09 08:34:55PM

You rock! THANK YOU for posting this.

I sure wish these universal shortcuts could be re-assigned within applications (I like Cmd-Q to do something else in Word, e.g.), but this is a great fix for the bigger QUIT problem on Macs!

ETA: Oh, looks like Calvarez may have posted about that above.

Oh wait -- so I still can't assign Command-Q to a keyboard shortcut in Word. Drat. I've used such a shortcut for a decade on the PC, is there ANY way to do this? Even if I assign it in System Prefs it doesn't work, the command doesn't have a name that's recognized I guess.
