MacOS – MacBook Pro, Yosemite: change Finder shortcuts

customizationfinderkeybindingskeyboardmacos

I want to reassign Cmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ F to a custom command, but Finder reserves it to open 'All My Files'.

I have looked around Preferences-Keyboard-Shortcuts, but the Finder shortcuts do not seem to be listed, so I cannot remove them.

Is there any way to remove the Finder shortcuts so I can assign them to what I want?

Many thanks,

Will.

You first have to assign 'All My Files' to something else [choose some complicated junk you'll never need]
You cannot remove a default, only reassign it.

Then you can add your chosen alternative with Cmd ⌘ Shift ⇧ F .
I used Documents to demonstrate, as it was just below

enter image description here

System Prefs > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts.
Finder [in fact no app] will not exist as a listed app until after you make the first shortcut for it.
To set up the first one, click + then select Finder from the drop menu; add your menu title, "All My Files" then your 'junk' key command.
After that, selecting the 'Finder' header from the list will auto-populate the app drop menu, making subsequent entries quicker.
