Apple screws us again - Terrible Global Screen Lock shortcut in 10.13

Questions & Suggestions
1

In 10.13 High Sierra, Apple has so inconsiderately forced another keybinding on us: control-command-q

This will forthwith proceed to lock your screen. I previously used this key combination for quitting certain apps and now this has entirely stopped my workflow.

Is there any way to stop this screen lock behavior? I am not seeing it in the System Preferences. I don’t see a way to edit the .GlobalPreferences.plist either.

Any ideas?

I don’t have High Sierra installed on a machine, but my understanding is that the Lock Screen option is shown under the Apple menu. To change the built-in shortcut, simple go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts and create a new shortcut in the App Shortcuts section under the All Applications heading.

Thank you very much. Yes, I should have thought about that but it totally slipped my mind. That did the trick.
