It's actually quite easy to change. Open keyboard preferences, choose
the keyboard shortcuts tab. Arrow down through the table until you get
to the spotlight hortcut. Press tab, you should here "command-space
edit text." Press your new shortcut, then tab again. Voila. I just
tried this and it worked for me without a hitch.

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.
