How to disable default Mission Control shortcuts in terminal? I never use the keyboard shortcuts for moving spaces in mission control, and they happen to conflict with some other settings I have. I have an automated script that sets up my Mac and I'd like to disable all the defaults keybindings for Mission Control programmatically.
I was able to figure this out. Here is what I did:

Step 1

Generate a file with your current default settings:

defaults read com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist AppleSymbolicHotKeys &gt; file_a

Step 2

Manually change the settings you want in System Preferences &gt; Keyboard &gt; Shortcuts

Step 3

Generate a new comparison file from settings after making your change:

defaults read com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist AppleSymbolicHotKeys &gt; file_b

Step 4

Diff compare the two files:

diff file_a file_b

Step 5

Disable only the keys that appeared in the diff, example:

defaults write com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist AppleSymbolicHotKeys -dict-add 82 "
  &lt;dict&gt;
    &lt;key&gt;enabled&lt;/key&gt;&lt;false/&gt;
    &lt;key&gt;value&lt;/key&gt;&lt;dict&gt;
      &lt;key&gt;type&lt;/key&gt;&lt;string&gt;standard&lt;/string&gt;
      &lt;key&gt;parameters&lt;/key&gt;
      &lt;array&gt;
        &lt;integer&gt;65535&lt;/integer&gt;
        &lt;integer&gt;124&lt;/integer&gt;
        &lt;integer&gt;8781824&lt;/integer&gt;
      &lt;/array&gt;
    &lt;/dict&gt;
  &lt;/dict&gt;
