    Standard dictionary key symbols are used: ~ alt, ^ control, $ shift, @ command.
    Therefore ~a means ⌥A (alt-A) and ^$1 would be ⌃⇧1 (control-shift-1).

    The value for each of the keys is set to ()—empty parentheses without a method. As DefaultKeyBinding.dict overrides /S*/L*/Fr*/AppKit.*/R*/StandardKeyBinding.dict, the shortcut is defined to be without method and therefore does nothing. It's preferable to create your own key bindings file like this rather than editing the system one.

    Save the following to ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict (create if necessary).

    `{ "~a" = (); "~b" = (); "~c" = (); "~d" = (); "~e" = (); "~f" = (); "~g" = (); "~h" = (); "~i" = (); "~j" = (); "~k" = (); "~l" = (); "~m" = (); "~n" = (); "~o" = (); "~p" = (); "~q" = (); "~r" = (); "~s" = (); "~t" = (); "~u" = (); "~v" = (); "~w" = (); "~x" = (); "~y" = (); "~z" = (); }`
    This disables all the ⌥<letter> combinations. Restart apps to take effect.

    The DefaultKeyBinding.dict above is an old-style property list1, defining key-value pairs using the syntax { key = value }. In this case, the keys are the key combinations to activate the method in the value.

    Standard dictionary key symbols are used: ~ alt, ^ control, $ shift, @ command.
    Therefore ~a means ⌥A (alt-A) and ^$1 would be ⌃⇧1 (control-shift-1).
