Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble with the force quit (cmd + Q). I saw a lot of tutorials on internet but nothing seems to work :
- assign cmd +Q to "turn focus following on or off" to make it useless but it keep quiting the apps
- an other tuto doing an "advanced hiding" but still close the app
If you have any info I'm willing to read that thanks...

Command Q is a fundamental baked in keyboard shortcut for Quiting any and all applications.
try something different
Create keyboard shortcuts for apps on Mac - Apple Support
Force quit is not Command+Q. It's Command+Option+Escape, which calls up this dialogue.
As noted, Command+Q is for quitting/closing whatever the current foreground app is. Its' the same as pressing Alt+F4 in Windows.
I very much doubt you can change or disable Command+Q.
When an Application is open and not responding and what to Quit the Application - the Command + q command on the keyboard will Force Quit the Application.
There is not reason the disable the command - even if it could be disabled. This Keyboard combination is universal in macOS and all the way back to OS X Tiger 10.4
Disable cmd + q
