How to disable Cmd + [Num] in Safari

I use WordPress keyboard shortcuts a lot, but Safari's use of Cmd + [Num] (e.g. 1, 2, 3) is overriding WordPress' use (which formats text with tags).

How can I disable Safari's use of the keyboard shortcut so that I can use it for WordPress?


The shortcuts are defined as the first few bookmarks in your Bookmarks Bar. You can see which bookmarks are defined by going to Bookmarks → Favorites Bar. Since they are menu items, you can disable them by remapping them to something else.

  1. Open System Preferences → Keyboard → App Shortcuts.

  2. Click the + to add a new shortcut.

  3. Set the Application to Safari, the Menu Title to the exact name of one of your bookmarks, and the Keyboard Shortcut to something other than ⌘#.

  4. Repeat the process for the other bookmarks.
