In the “Tweaks” settings of [Supercharge](https://sindresorhus.com/supercharge), turn on “Disable Command+Tab app switcher”. Without an app, “System Settings › Keyboard › Keyboard Shortcuts” turns off the keyboard shortcuts of macOS that are in its lists.

## With Supercharge

1. Open the settings of [Supercharge](https://sindresorhus.com/supercharge), and click “Tweaks”.
1. In the “Apps & Windows” section, turn on “Disable Command+Tab app switcher”.
1. Press Command+Tab. The app switcher does not open.

To get the app switcher back, turn the setting off. The setting is for when you do not use the app switcher and open it by accident.

## Without an app

macOS lets you turn off some of its own keyboard shortcuts:

1. Open “[System Settings › Keyboard](x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.Keyboard-Settings.extension)”, and click “Keyboard Shortcuts”.
1. Select a category in the sidebar, like “Mission Control” or “Spotlight”.
1. Deselect the checkbox next to the shortcut.

[Apple’s instructions.](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/mchlp2262/mac) If the shortcut that you press by accident is in one of these lists, turn it off there. For the app switcher of Command+Tab, use the setting of Supercharge.
