| Jan 10, 2017 at 19:29 | comment | added | ian.pvd | How often are you pressing and holding down this button by accident that you need to disable your Mac's hardware? Anyway, my suggestion as someone who has never managed to hit the power button accidentally (and now that I've tried, noticed that it doesn't actually seem to do anything) would be to just keep iTerm open because it unexpectedly stops my computer from restarting about 9 times out of 10. | |

| Jan 10, 2017 at 12:47 | comment | added | Monomeeth♦ | @theonlygusti Just clarifying that it wasn't me who downvoted your question, in case you thought it was. While I think it's a very bad idea to do what you want, I am nevertheless curious as to whether it's possible to do this without modifying your hardware. And for that reason I'll be watching this with curiosity to see what, if anything, people come up with. | |

| Jan 10, 2017 at 11:09 | comment | added | Monomeeth♦ | To be blunt, disabling your Power button is a bad idea. Even if you never intend to turn off your MacBook Pro, the Power button is critical for some troubleshooting steps such as resetting either the SMC or NVRAM. And, as @Tetsujin implies, how are you going to boot it when you do need to (e.g. after a repair or replacing the battery? | |

| Jan 10, 2017 at 8:35 | comment | added | user150109 | @Tetsujin I have not turned off my Macbook ever XD But that's a good point, I just don't want it to sleep/restart/shut down my macbook once it's on. Obviously, having a way to turn on my macbook is kinda important. | |
