I have had a similar problem with it of which Esther and others know very well because I had been writing about it endlessly. It just cannot be done for some reason. The shortcut key for spotlight won't be changed. I spent hours trying to figure it out. So you are in good company in a manner of speaking although I'm sure this is not what you want to hear. It drove me crazy, trying to change the shortcut.

Hello.

Call me a little nutty, but, I do have my reasons for wanting to do this, trust me.

I am trying to figure out when I go to

system prefs,

then keyboard and mouse,

then go to the keyboard shortcuts tab,

I interacted with the table, and went down to the shortcut to show spotlight.

I am trying to change that from command space to option space.

Well, when I do what it says, with cursor tracking on, and I go over to the collumn on that row that says shortcut: command+space, if I double click, it's not letting me then hit option space and reassign the keyboard shortcut.

All clicking is doing is checking and unchecking the on off checkbox for that key. Yes, I made sure I was in the shortcut collumn. I did that numerous time. I diddit both with cursor tracking on, as well as off. and yes, when off, I did route my mouse with vo command f5. So, I'm perplexed. How do I change this out? This is really important. I need to know this for an online class I am taking.

Chris.
