Open the original- What it measures
- Apple's Disable a keyboard shortcut section is about a clash between an app and macOS. It does not say whether a Dictation shortcut can be turned off separately from Dictation itself.
- What it does not show
- Turning off a macOS shortcut can remove a key that other features use. Apple does not list the effects for each shortcut, so test the change and restore it if something you rely on stops working.
