Really the title says it all. I want to set a shortcut that will enable/disable (toggle) keyboard shortcuts. Is this even a possibility? It would be really useful for things like Blender where many shortcuts overlap, without having to permanently disable or change your system shortcuts.

are you referring to keyboard shortcuts? – b_laoshi Jun 12 '17 at 04:19

A keyboard shortcut (ctrl alt f1) or some such, that would temporarily make all system shortcuts inactive, and then restore them when used again. – Eragon615 Jun 12 '17 at 04:38

I believe what you are asking has already been answered here. Unfortunately, the current title of the question does not indicate that it would be of much help. – b_laoshi Jun 12 '17 at 04:53

Post that as an answer and I'll accept it. It's a lot to look through, but I think I can use that script to make an empty shortcut file, and the default, then switch them with a shortcut. It looks complex, but doable. – Eragon615 Jun 12 '17 at 05:01

Great! unfortunately, I will be hit on the head with a frying pan if I post that one here instead of marking this one as a dupe to that one :). Good question though. Please let me know if you run into problems. – Jacob Vlijm Jun 12 '17 at 05:13
