[CS 1.6 - Request] Disable CTRL + <number> shortcut (switches workspace) on OS X

[konschta]

Really annoying is the fact that on OS X CTRL + <Number> switches your workspace and minimises the game, which I guess happens a lot, e.g. during weapon switching while crouching. So it is perhaps a good solution to prevent CTRL + form working while ingame, if that is possible.

I already mentioned this in issue #229, where I also commented on some CMD + <key> shortcuts.

Hardware: MBP 13" mid 2010, OS X 10.8.2

We have tried to do this on other products but we haven't found an Apple API to allow this. If you know how to programmatically cause this please chime in.

@alfred-valve Not really, I found some workarounds, but I'm not sure if this is helpful.

#import <Carbon/Carbon.h>
    void *oldHotKeyMode = PushSymbolicHotKeyMode(kHIHotKeyModeAllDisabled);
Make sure that you re-enable them with:
    PopSymbolicHotKeyMode(oldHotKeyMode);
