Turn off annoying macOS man page shortcuts via the command line

Context

macOS 10.14.4 introduced a keyboard shortcut that conflicts with one of IntelliJ IDEA’s best shortcuts. cmd-shift-a pops open a Terminal window running an apropos search on the text selection, rather than the command palette.

You can manually disable these keyboard shortcuts via System Preferences, but this script does this programmatically. I was unable to find any existing information about how to do this via the command line, so I rolled my own solution.

It took a long time to work out which defaults domain to find the plist for this. I probably worked out the pbs domain from this post.

Life on the Command Line

Stephen Ramsay - Sat, 04/09/2011 - 19:49

A few weeks ago, I realized that I no longer use graphical applications.

That’s right. I don’t do anything with GUI apps anymore, except surf the Web. And what’s interesting about that, is that I rarely use cloudy, AJAXy replacements for desktop applications. Just about everything I do, I do exclusively on the command line. And I do what everyone else does: manage email, write things, listen to music, manage my todo list, keep track of my schedule, and chat with people. I also do a few things that most people don’t do: including write software, analyze data, and keep track of students and their grades. But whatever the case, I do all of it on the lowly command line. I literally go for months without opening a single graphical desktop application. In fact, I don’t — strictly speaking — have a desktop on my computer.

I think this is a wonderful way to wor
