Ok,Thanks Robert.

With some ways(applescript and systempreference expose pane and through some bundles )being there for these expose shortcut keys,i can manage to choose one that suits the need.But rightnow,i was stuck with some other shortcut keys.

I am using setSystemUIMode for the kiosk like application.I have used the disable process switch option.But i happened to come across that the short cut keys Option-F14,Option-F15 etc.are not blocked.Pressing this shortcuts brings the Dispaly and Sound Panes of system preferences in front along with the dock and thus breaking my kiosk like application.Is there way of disabling these shortcut keys.

Thanks in Advance,

Manikandan T

After much searching I located com.apple.symbolichotkeys:

I disabled Expose and then from the command-line in Terminal typed:
>defaults read com.apple.symbolichotkeys

{
AppleSymbolicHotKeys = {
32 = {enabled = 0; };
34 = {enabled = 0; };
36 = {enabled = 0; };
37 = {enabled = 0; };
44 = {enabled = 0; };
46 = {enabled = 0; };
48 = {enabled = 0; };
49 = {enabled = 0; };
};
}

I enabled F9, F10 and F11:

[fred:~] rmacgreg% defaults read com.apple.symbolichotkeys
{
AppleSymbolicHotKeys = {
32 = {enabled = 1; value = {parameters = (-1, 101, 0); type =
standard; }; };
34 = {enabled = 1; value = {parameters = (-1, 101, 131072);
type = standard; }; };
36 = {enabled = 1; value = {parameters = (-1, 103, 0); type =
standard; }; };
37 = {enabled = 1; value = {parameters = (-1, 103, 131072);
! type = standard; }; };
44 = {enabled = 0; };
46 = {enabled = 0; };
48 = {enabled = 0; };
49 = {enabled = 0; };
};
}

Below are some examples of changing Expose's key assignments:
