I'd like to remap CTRL + H from delete to nothing in Leopard.
Best Answer
The default ⌃H behavior comes from the Standard Key Bindings file in the AppKit framework resources. You can override this easily.
Create a file with this as the contents:
{ "^h" = ""; }
And save it to ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict, creating the KeyBindings folder if it doesn't exist. (Note: you will need to restart your applications for this to start working.)
(Another side note: I'm not entirely sure if using "" is the right way to make it do nothing, but it works. The documentation I found said nothing about any no-op methods.)
