MacOS – Disable the Command-Tab shortcut from Dock

dockmacos

I have the following problem:
I'm an extensive Quark User since the 90's and recently updated
two of my Macs at work to OSX 10.7.5. I would like to use my favorite Shortcut "Command-Tab" in Quark Xpress as usual, without changing the Apps via
the Dock.

My question: Where can I change or delete this shortcut?

I previous used "Ape" and "PullTab 1.4" to solve my problem, but these hacks are no longer supported.

You might use a private.xml like this with KeyRemap4MacBook:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <item>
    <name>test</name>
    <identifier>test</identifier>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::TAB, VK_COMMAND | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::F19</autogen>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::TAB, VK_COMMAND | VK_SHIFT | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::F19, ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L</autogen>
  </item>
</root>

Then remap F19 or shift-F19 in Quark if it is possible.

This would actually disable command-tab and shift-command tab:

<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::TAB, VK_COMMAND | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::VK_NONE</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::TAB, VK_COMMAND | VK_SHIFT | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::VK_NONE</autogen>
