MacBook Pro Keyboard – How to Disable Option+F1 Shortcut

keyboardmacbook promacosshortcut

MacOS Sierra 10.12.6
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports).

When I press OptionF1, a display system preferences window comes up.

It conflicts with my application specific shortcut.

How can I disable OptionF1 triggering display settings?

That's not actually on Opt ⌥ F1 , it's on the "special functions" keys, so it's triggered by the ? symbol rather than the actual F-Key.

To get the 'true' F-key you could either press Fn Opt ⌥ F1 or alternatively swap all your F-key Functionality in System Prefs > Keyboard > Keyboard

sorry for the emoji, couldn't find anything better ;-)
