I'm aware of Victoria's blog about them. I'm trying to create one but I first need to disable one of the Apple shortcuts. Here is the list of Apple shortcuts. I'd like to disable Command X.

Mac keyboard shortcuts

I have been searching but I can't find the answer. It says to access keyboard shortcuts and uncheck the one/s you don't want. I went through them all but Command X is not there. I've done it before so it can be done. Just haven't been able to hit the correct link in my searches.
 
Hmm, I doubt that you can completely disable it as it is pretty central to every Mac editing flow. But you might be able to override it by assigning it to a different action in the application settings.

I did it for years using Jeffery Friedl's plugin-ins on two devices. CMD Z opened Personalized Auto Tone and CMD X opened Bulk Developer. I stopped using Personalized Auto Tone when in version 8 Adobe corrected the Sensei's messed up contrast settings. New iMac, new version of Bulk Developer and Catalina all in one week.

I think clean install of Catalina and on the new iMac is the cause. It is still working on my laptop which has been running Catalina for a few weeks. I got that to work when High Sierra was the OS. LR 9 is running on it as well.

I always write instructions/links down for this stuff. I was doing some cleaning for the new iMac and I may have erased it.
 
I figured it out. It kept gnawing at me and the that old coconut on my shoulders finally remembered. You leave 3 spaces in front of the menu title. It didn't work right away but I tried it a few times and restarted LR. Working now. I have a feeling Victoria may have suggested this in one of her blogs. I could be wrong bit I do know that this info is very hard find out there.

I just tried it on the MacBook Air. I typed in the menu title with the 3 spaces and the 3 dots at the end and it worked without restarting LR.
 
Yes I did a search and found that last night and I'm pretty sure I read it a few years ago. I didn't see a reference to the 3 spaces before the text to override Apple shortcuts. I don't know where I found that. I looked for weeks and couldn't find it. I had the same issue a few years ago.
