![]() ![]() So let's use Unmerge Cells for this example. Otherwise this is going to be gray and unusable whether it's by the keyboard shortcut or through the menu item. The only reason that would be an active menu item is if you're actually in a Table and you've merged two cells and now you've selected them and want to unmerge them. Like look here under Format, Table, and then Unmerge Cells. See how different things are grayed out here and you can't actually use them. To do this what you need to do is find a menu command that is not usually activated. That is to assign the same keyboard shortcut to something that you would never use. So effectively you have disabled it by assigning it to something very obscure.īut there's another way to do it as well. Command T no longer does anything in Pages. Now if you look here you'll see that's the keyboard shortcut. Like Shift Control Option Command F12 and add that. Or you go with something really obscure that you would never use just to get it out of the way. ![]() So you still have access to the Menu item through a shortcut but it is not easy to trigger. You could make it something a little bit different than what is already there like Shift Control Command T instead of Command T. Set the application to the app that you want, in this case Pages, and for the Menu title type it exactly. Add a new app shortcut by clicking the Plus button. In System Preferences in this same location go to App Shortcuts. Now the most obvious way may seem to be to assign a new keyboard shortcut to it and this works. But here we don't need to create a custom keyboard shortcut. ![]() You're going to need to type this exactly just like if you were creating a custom keyboard shortcut. Well, the first thing you need to do is to know the exact Menu item. What if we just wanted to disable that? Or maybe disable Command Q for Quit. After all Command T is really easy to hit and it used for other things like a new tab in Safari. For instance, here in Pages let's say sometimes you're accidentally triggering Format Font, Show Fonts with Command T. Well, you can disable those as well but it is not as straight forward. So what happens if it's a keyboard shortcut that is from a Menu in an App. So if the keyboard shortcut you want is here then it's easy to disable by using the checkboxes. Now this keyboard shortcut won't work any longer. All you need to do to disable them, like for instance Show Desktop F11, is just uncheck that box. Here you're going to see all these different lists of systemwide keyboard shortcuts. So go to System Preferences and then Keyboard and then Shortcuts. For systemwide keyboard shortcuts it is actually kind of easy to disable them. Ones that are systemwide keyboard shortcuts and ones that are specific to an app. Now first there are two types of keyboard shortcuts. You can actually disable keyboard shortcuts as well. So a shortcut that already exists but maybe you're accidentally triggering it because it is also used by another app in a different way or your fingers accidentally hit those keys.
