OS X traps and responds to its own system-wide shortcuts and does not pass them on to the app, so LC won't know about those.

But Cmd-Q behaves slightly differently. OS X does notify the app so it can put up save dialogs or do other housekeeping. If Cmd-Q isn't working, then there is probably something in your app that prevents it from quitting, like pending messages, open drivers, not passing "shutdownRequest", etc.

It's my understanding that with OS X you cannot do this. I would like to make a 
quit hotkey so users can quit my application, but I cannot seem to get that to

I want to command-H for a menu item in my standalone, but it doesn't work
because the system uses command-H for Hide Application. Even though I've
assigned this shortcut to a menu item, it is ignored and the system command
is used instead.

It seems like this should be simple but I can't figure out how to get
around this problem. Is there a way to override system shortcuts in an OSX
standalone application?
