Entering Ex mode. Type "visual" to go to Normal mode.

A:
The "combo" is Q. To disable it, simply map Q to something else:
:map Q <whatever>
I use gq, which is used to format text.
If you don't want it do do anything map it to <Nop>:
:map Q <Nop>

A:
If you don't want to map it to something else, just use :unmap. If you do have something else in mind, :map will work - take a look at the help pages to see the variations to specify what modes the map will be used in.

`:unmap` does remove mappings, but won't remove the defaults, like in this case.

Ah, my bad. Thought I remembered it working there too.

I thought the same at first. My answer was originally mentioning `:unmap`, like yours, but then I tried it in my vim and only then I realized it didn't work.

A:
<Nop> is meant for use in mapping keys to "nothing". See :h <Nop>.
:map Q <Nop>
