Tip - Disable cmd+q for Safari
09 Jul 2020
How many times have you accidentally quit Safari by pressing cmd+q instead of cmd+w (closing a tab)? For me, this happens almost daily.
Here is a small tip to disable cmd+q:
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > Click the + button
Choose Safari from the dropdown. Under the title put Stop and add cmd+q as the shortcut.
That is it. A small daily frustration removed.
"Stop" (stop reloading the page) has a keyboard shortbut already associated with it (see under the 'View' menu for Safari) but since I have never used it I am going to override it.
