Remap quit app keyboard shortcut globally [duplicate]

Question

In Windows and Linux I can remap the Quit Application key globally to something else (usually Ctrl + F4). Mac has the ability to remap keys based on a menu item name. However, this does not work for Quit Application since it has a different name for each app. Specifically, it follows the pattern: [App Name] > Quit [App Name]. To use this method, I would need to remap every app independently.

Answer 1

You can remap your keyboard, for me it was really exhausting to search a guide to do this, but I can share a few tips to do it with Ukelele.

First of all, this is a powerful tool to remap every key and modifier (like caps, option, command, shift...) from your keyboard, but I think you might be overwhelmed with all the possible settings and documentation, so I here's my advice:

1. Search for the most useful keyboard layout in the default settings in your mac, in my case it was Spanish.
2. With Ukelele, create new from current input source and only remap what is needed. In my case, it was only needed to add backslash () with the combination of [Option + Shift + 7].
3. And finally follow the instructions to install in your system.

This answer is related to this post which shows how to create from scratch a keyboard layout.

You can remap all menu shortcuts in the keyboard shortcuts section called “All Apps”.
