Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / December 2007Keyboard shortcuts in Safari 3
Is there a way to change or dsisable keyboard shortcuts in Safari 3? The particular one that I want to change is not shown next to the menu item, but is listed among the shortcuts and does work. I would like to use that keyboard combination for something else.

Probably: which shortcut? I circumvent annoying or confusing keyboard shortcuts by assigning them to a preferred action, or nothing at all by using QuicKeys. As is said everytime it comes up, QuicKeys is a lot more program than you need for this one lonely task. But since I use it for about 20 lonely tasks, some of them quite complex, it works great for me.

Well, the actual issue is that cmd-\ is used in the debug menu of Safari 3 (not 2), and also is the auto-fill shortcut in 1Password. I can make it work in 1Password by turning off Safari's debug menu, but it would be nice to have both. As far as I can see, the Keyboard and Mouse preference lets one assign shortcuts but does not have the option to remove shortcuts that are built in to the application. I was hoping there was a file somewhere that controlled Safari's shortcuts, and that I could modify this.

Again, QuicKeys will allow to re-assign either of these. By the way thanks for the 1Password shortcut. Recently acquired, I didn't know about that one.

You can assign a DIFFERENT shortcut to the Safari command. Since only one key can be assigned to a command, this will prevent cmd-\ from being used for this, and 1Passwd should then receive it.

According to the instructions in the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane, I need to "Enter the exact name of the menu command you want to add". I have entered "Show Page Load Test Window" but this still responds to the original command-\, but not to the new command I have assigned. I have, of course, quit Safari and re-opened it, but I have not yet tried restarting the computer. Do I have to include the name of the menu in which the item appears? I thought I didn't. It may be relevant that for some reason the shortcut Cmd-\, although it is listed in the Keyboard Shortucts page of Safari and does what is described there, does not appear opposite the relevant item in the menus.

I suspect that's the problem. It sounds like the shortcut is being recognized in some special way *before* the normal menu shortcut mechanism. Since it's being intercepted early in the process, reassigning the key doesn't work.

In the meantime, I can reassign the key that !Password uses in SAafari (I had forgotten that). But this isn't entirely satisfactory, as it seems one can't do that reassignment in Firefox as well, so one has to use different keystrokes in Safari and Firefox if one goes that route.
