How to turn off keyboard shortcuts for certain apps?

Hello!


For example, when I play a game or launch another full-screen application, there are system keyboard shortcuts still enabled. As a result, I can unintentionally use some of them, so that my app closes. Is it possible to turn off some keyboard shortcuts for full-screen apps?


Thanks!

For those apps, remap the offending keyboard shortcuts to something not likely to kill your app.


For example, I have remapped my Safari Command-Q to Command-Control-Option-Q, because I too often miss when going for Command-W to close a window, and hit Q instead, closing Safari.


So for all the game menu items that have meanings of keys that are too easy to hit, remap them to something less easy.
