1.) How do I open .GlobalPreferences.plist? It's an invisible file...

If you cd to that directory ("cd ~/Library/Preferences/) in the terminal and type the command you just - unknowingly - typed "open .GlobalPreferences.plist" then the file opens in the relevant application - so there is no need to tamper with TinkerTools or such app's :)

Or you could be advanced and combine the two commands to: "open ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist"

PS.: You can also use the Go command if your problem was to go to an invisible folder in the Finder...

I edited my com.apple.Safari.plist and added equiv for cmd+shift+Q to Quit...

<key>NSUserKeyEquivalents</key>
<dict>
<key>Quit</key>
<string>@$Q</string>
</dict>

Why does it not show up or respond after restarting Safari?

- It should be Quit Safari and not Quit.

- Make sure that your shortcut will not conflict with any other shortcut which is active. Command-shift-q is already taken: Log Out.
