How I disable or remove a global shortcut (Shift+Cmd+C)?

I use Shift+Cmd+X to delete a line in VS Code (an editor) but sometimes I accidentally hit Shift+Cmd+C which opens a terminal.

How can I disable or remove this global Shift+Cmd+C shortcut?

Solution 1:

As far as I know, ⇧⌘C is not a system-wide global shortcut, so it sounds like something Visual Studio is doing. It probably has a way to disable it within the application, but if not, you can try to remap it to something else (this works for any application where the thing you're triggering is a menu!):

Open System Preferences, and go to the Keyboard pane.
Head over to the Shortcuts tab, and then App Shortcuts.
Hit the plus button, and enter the name of the "open in terminal" menu item exactly as it appears.
Put in some other shortcut that you want to trigger it with.

(This works even when the menu you want to trigger doesn't usually have a shortcut. Unfortunately, it only works if the feature is a menu item.)
