Does somebody know, if there is a way do disable Exposé / Spaces etc.
I'm working on a presentation mode... and I want so disable the
keys for Them.
System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts
Scroll through the outline and look for the hot-keys for Exposé and
Spaces, and uncheck them.
I don't believe there's any way to override these programmatically.
Those key events are processed by the window server before even
being sent to your app.
You could probably use fsevents or so to watch which files get
changed when you change these settings, and if you can make sense of
the files (often they're just property lists) you could try writing
code that does this as part of your installer or so. That is, as long
as you're doing this for some sort of Kiosk system. For a regular app
that just has a presentation mode (like Keynote) users probably
wouldn't appreciate you messing with their shortcuts.
Also, I think there are APIs to turn on a Kiosk mode, have you tried
whether any of these happen to also suppress Expose etc.?
