#54025 — Is there a way to change/remove hot keys in Mac OS X 10.8.x's Terminal? Or prompt to be sure to quit/close it?

Hello.

I keep pressing command and w (also q) hot keys by accident in Mac OS X 
10.8.x/Mountain Lion's Terminal when I meant to do that in my web 
browsers. Is there a way to change/remove them? Or at least ask me to 
confirm the quit/close at least?

Thank you in advance.

You can add/remove/change any¹ key assignment via System Preferences =>
Keyboard => Shortcuts => App Shortcuts I would suggest changing them to
⌘⇧Q and ⌘⇧W.

¹ Perhaps nearly any.

Cool. But how do you remove the hotkeys if I don't want to change them?

You can't. Just change it to something you'll never use (at least not
accidentally) and isn't used in other applications:
shift-command-control-option-Q

re: preventing Command-W to close Terminal windows.

There is a simple solution to this. And I believe it was succesfully
used in the white house in January 2001: Remove the W key from the

Yes you can - the letter is called "double-u", so simply type that
instead: "I uuill be able to spell uuords that require that letter like
this example."     ;-)

Of course the U is used in some applications as a shortcut key, so you
had bvetter remove that one from your keyboard too, just to be safe.

You can.

defaults write -app Terminal NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Close Tab" ""

Then quit and relaunch Terminal and the close-tab is disabled. However,
⌘W will now close the window, and the close-tab menu item is disabled,
so not a perfect solution. However, I am sure with a little trial and
error it will work.

Bummer. Is it me or is there no revert back to default keys? I was 
checking this in Mac OS X 10.7.5 yesterday at work (don't have access to 
v10.8.5 at the moment).

To revert back to the original keyboard shortcut, you can just delete
the new shortcut (use the "-" button after selecting your shortcut in
the list).

Hmm. I thought you defined the keybinding but left it empty, but that
doesn’t seem to be working.

Maybe the defaults write command, but I can't seem to find the syntax
for that since it's been ages since I needed to use it now that the
reassignment/assignment functionality is exposed in the GUI.

Ah, wait, found it.

defaults write -g NSUserKeyEquivalents

(for a global shortcut)

you can also set it for a single app

defaults write -app Keynote NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add
"Rehearse Slideshow" "@~R"

You can also add multiple keyboard shortcuts at once:

defaults write -app preview NSUserKeyEquivalents '{
"Single Page" = "@1";
"Two Pages" = "@2";
"Continuous Scroll" = "@3";
}'

Of course, you will want to test all of these, it's been several
versions of OS X since I used them and the syntax could have easily
changed slightly. A good way to check syntax is to try defaults read
first, since that is non-destructive.

Way more information than [most] anyone would ever want:
<http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/Cocoa%20Text%20System.html>

Also, this is useful (if slightly dated):
<http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/system-bindings.html>

This is rather cool, and I did something like this way back in 10.2 or
10.3 maybe with one application:

defaults write com.some.app NSUserKeyEquivalents '{
  "^w " = {
      "w"  = "close all windows:";
      "^w" = "close window:";
  };
}'

If I hit ^w twice, it closed the window, and if I hit ^w and then a
regular w, it closed them all.

I have no idea if that still works, though I am tempted to try it in
Mail for a lark (since I never use ⌘W in mail...)

Not with stock MacOS.  Those command keys are part of the program.  You 
used to be able to use ResEdit on a MacOS 9 application and tweak the 
Menu resource, but those days are gone.

To assign or reassign keys requires a 3rd-party program to remap keys on 
a per program or global basis. There's iKey and Keyboard Maestro, either 
of which would map Command-W and Command-Q to do nothing or run a dialog 
box, then close the window or program if you click a button.

The question is "Are you willing to train yourself to 'Don't do that' or 
will you spend money to fix the PEBKAC error.

You are wrong.

That is true, it is FAR simpler now.

No it doesn’t, it is built in to OS X and has been for years. For
example, my "send mail" command in Mail.app has *always* been
Command-Return.

It was amazing, this mystic business. You tell them a lie, and then when
you don't need it any more you tell them another lie and tell them
they're progressing along the road to wisdom. Then instead of laughing
they follow you even more, hoping that at the heart of all the lies
they'll find the truth. And bit by bit they accept the unacceptable.

they are, but they can be easily overridden.

true but there are new ways, namely system preferences/keyboard.

there's no need for any third party app, although they may offer
additional features.

You don't need a third party application. You can easily set and change
keyboard shortcuts for most applications in the Keyboard System
Preferences.

Just add a new Application Keyboard Shortcut specifically for the
Terminal application, type in the menu command "Quit Terminal", and
then use a different shortcut - instead of Command-Q, you could use
Control-Command-Q.

One of the ones you can't do it for is Thoth; that probably applies to
all carbon apps, but I haven't checked that out.

Well, I tried to be patient to learn to get used to it after a few 
years, but I still keep doing it. I have disabilities, so they don't 
help the situation. :(

Lots of answers to that question, but no one has (yet) answered this one:

In Terminal preferences, go to the Settings tab and the Shell sub-tab, 
and change the "Prompt before closing" option.
