Disable Command-Q for quitting applications
Authored by: calvarez on Nov 04, '05 01:03:15PM

You can change/disable keys for any app right in the GUI. Just go to the Keyboard/Mouse prefs pane, and add an item under the Application shortcuts. Add an item for cmd-q and make the menu title anything that doesn't actually exist (I put in the word "Nothing" just to remember what it is later). Then cmd-q will no longer work in that app. You can add something else for quit, or just use the menu.

For some reason this doesn't work under "All applications."

Disable Command-Q for quitting applications

Sounds good, but it doesn't work for me on 10.4.3. I can see "Nothing" listed as a description for command-Q for Safari.app in Keyboard Shortcuts, but pressing command-Q still quits Safari. :(
