How do I unbind Command-Q (Mac)?

I tried binding my "level up spell" keys to Command-Q, W, E, and R, respectively, but obviously I ran into a problem. The game doesn't allow you to bind Command-Q to anything.

The really weird thing is, I already unbound Command-Q on my computer. Now, when I press Command-Q, instead of closing the app I'm in it simply inverts the colors (this is the best I could do). However, even after that, if I'm in a game and press Command-Q, it instantly closes out of the game. Could I get some help with this? Or maybe a Rioter sees this and decides to make a difference?

Hi Tattersall,

Don't worry! You're not the only Mac-User with this Problem... There are actually some guides about this problem with MacOS (not just for League of Legends but with many different programs because command + Q is the global setting for MacOS to close the current program).

Here is a quick guide to change this setting:

Open your System Preferences
In the hardware section, click Keyboard
Click Application Shortcuts
Click the + button to add a new custom shortcut
Leave the Application setting as All Applications
In the Menu Title field, enter Quit League Of Legends (Make sure the spelling of the command is correct (upper- and lowercase letter matters!)!)
In the Keyboard Shortcut field, enter whatever you would like to use as your new shortcut to quit League of Legends, which will override command + Q (I'd recommend you to use control + shift + command + Q)
Click Add to save your setting

Make sure to restart your client or even your computer and I hope this is going to solve your problem!
