Apple - Remove shift key augmentation for Mission Control animation

You can disable the keyboard shortcuts for slow-motion effects by following these instructions:

1. Open Terminal.

2. Open the plist file in your user's library preferences folder that contains the setting by typing open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist and hit return.

3. A window similar to this will open in Xcode:

5. For items 34, 35, and 37, set enabled to NO.

6. Close the file, click Save if prompted, and restart your system.

7. Enjoy.

Note: 34 and 35 may not be present in the plist if you have never opened the Mission Control preferences pane and changed the "Mission Control" or "Application windows" settings. If 37 isn't present either, simply add it yourself.

This process has been tested with:

• OS X Yosemite
• OS X El Capitan
• macOS Sierra

You can disable the Ctrl+Up/Down shortcuts for Mission Control in the Keyboard preference pane. Just untick both "Mission Control" and "Application windows". This will also prevent the Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down key bindings, where the Shift key acts as a modifier to slow down the animation, as you have noticed.

Disabling these shortcuts will allow you to use it again in Sublime Text 2 or other applications.

I am using Mavericks and opened the file in TextWrangler. Do not be shocked, it's in XML format.

Find the items 34,35 and 37 (check out Behrang's post) and change the appropriate tag to false (this is the same as changing enabled to NO ). Like so

<key>37</key>
    <dict>
        <key>enabled</key>
        <false/>

Now you can happily use the key combination with Shift and rearrange your bullets and paragraphs without starting the slow expose animation.
