During the course of a day, business or otherwise, I use many Mac shortcut keys. When working with Finder and application windows I’ll often use Command ~ to switch from window to window. Often, in haste, I’ll accidentally hit Command Esc which opens Front Row and disrupts my productivity.
Turning off the Front Row hot-key is easy. Open System Preferences, Keyboard & Mouse and the top entry (for me anyway) is “Hide and show Front Row.” Uncheck the box and it’s done. Until you re-enable the hot-key you can open Front Row using its icon in your Applications folder.
