I would like to use alt together with the "F" keys as shortcuts in a game but alt+F4 just terminates the game.
Is there a way to remove that function from the key combination?
I know this must have been asked before but search rejects both terms and I get no results.
No, there is no simple trick or way to disable this shortcut. The best you can hope for is a keyboard that has an F Lock key and turning the F Lock function off so you can use the keys freely and I've never tested it so I'm not sure if you could even assign these keys with F Lock off.
Yes, you can disable the Alt+F4 combination with AutoHotKey and a script.

This link should also help you out to see how others with your problem have done it:

I guessed it wouldn't be as simple as just redefining the shortcut so it looks like I'll have to use the script method.
Thanks for the replies and links guys, so glad I found these forums they've been so much help.
