I'm still unable to disable Cmd-Q Apple menu shortcut.

Hi Zax,

I tried to make a minimal standalone with the command-Q shortcut disabled.

I selected "Disabled" in Menu Builder for the File Menu


Before compiling I set via "Menu Builder" (that seems to do the trick)


Button Quit works in Standalone

Kind regards
Bernd

Thank you Bernd for your answer.

I just compiled your sample stack with 9.6.11: though menu-article "Quit" is not greyed, it is disabled and that's not what I am looking for.
I'm trying to disable the keyboard shortcut (cmd-Q), not the menu article.

Previous Stam's script works to disable the keyboard shortcut, but this shortcut is not greyed and this could be confusing for users.

Zax,

I probably misunderstood what was asked.

Kind regards
Bernd

I must admit that my question is rather unusual, as well as my English

I think the shortcut is added by the operating system, no matter if we leave it out in our LC menu or not.
It is a macOS standard in the end.

I beg to differ. Try the stack and see the command-Q does not close the standalone.

Kind regards

Ah, sorry, looks like I probably misunderstood what was asked this time!
