Cutomization - Disable shortcut keys

We are working in an enterprise environment, where our requiement is to give Customize Firefox to the users. Only Address Bar visible to the user.
1- Hide Menus. (Task Done)
2- Icon along the Address bar. (Task Done)
3- Disable all Shortcut keys. (Partial Done)
4- Disable all commands of about (i.e about:config)
I have explored about the disabling of shortcut key, it cannot be done through user prefences js file as I did for Task 1 & 2. We can to do with xul programming as I read. We dont want to use the Third party Extensions as for this we have to do for each user. We want to do change in the base file from where user profile generated.
I have disabled the shortcut keys by editing in the [ C:\%Firefox Dir%\omni.ja\chrome\browser\content\browser\browser.xul ]
just by adding disbaled = "true" attribute
[<key id="key_openAddons" key="&addons.commandkey;" command="Tools:Addons" disabled="true" modifiers="accel,shift"/>
<menuitem id="menu_openAddons" label="&addons.label;" accesskey="&addons.accesskey;" disabled="true" key="key_openAddons" command="Tools:Addons"/>]
The Shortcut key disabled but only for the administrator but not work for the normal users whose menu disabled or not.
No issue for Admin user ethier shortcut disabled but not rest features.
Please help in this regard. Either any other file which create the user profile and for point no 4. or How to resolve this issue.

Looking for an alternate method to do this without an event structure.  My implementation uses a state machine with while loops, and is setup to only respond to specific keystrokes/mouse clicks, at specific times.  When in these states, it waits for the user to interract, and can not proceed until they do (by either progressing with the sequence, or aborting it).  
When I implement the method provided, it does work when it is in the state that expects F1, but if the user presses F1 at any other time, the event is triggered, and the VI goes into an invalid state (locks up).  I do inderstand that normally an event structure would be the correct implementation for keyboard inputs, but the application needs to respond in different ways depending on the user input, and needs to ignore all user input at other times.  I couldn't figure out a practical way to ignore events while in certain states, so I implemented the statem machine instead.  
Any ideas?  Working in LV 2013. Thanks in advance.

  • Disable shortcut keys for Universal Access

    At our school we have a bit of an issue with students using keyboard shortcuts to set the Universal Access options (usually to Black on White, but also Zoom and VoiceOver), which freaks out the next student using the computer. I'd like to disable the shortcut keys for those settings. Are there ARD Unix commands that would do it?

    Hello Francois,
    Thank you for your fast reply!
    I tried your recommendation, but got the following result:
    When I have a label of "& OK" with the blank symbol as ALT-255, the Button in the Alert Box still has the focus. It seems as if there now is a blank in front of the OK (which is underlined). This does not really solve my issue, because the Button still has the focus and that should not be. The best solution for the user would be if he only could accept the message with a mouse klick.
    Is there an other suggestion?
    Thank you so much!

  • Disable shortcut keys

    Anyone,
    I am developing training for an application that uses the
    shortcut key F5. When I assign the key to a button, the published
    trainer does not perform the action of the button, but rewinds and
    starts over. Is this a Captivate shortcut or an IE shortcut? Can I
    reassign it?
    Anne

    F5 is the browser shortcut key for "Refresh" or "Reload".
    I don't know that you're going to get around this one.
    There's a handful of keys that cannot be overridden in the browser,
    and I believe F5 is one of them.
    You may have to go with the "We cannot simulate this in the
    tutorial so we'll do it for you" approach. Others in this forum
    have suggested inserting a graphic of a set of keyboard keys and
    having the user click the correct key, so that might also be an
    acceptable workaround.

  • How to disable shortcut keys not listed in the keyboard shortcuts system

    Hi all
    As a Graphic Designer I find the shortcut Shift+F12 amazingly irritating when using QuarkXpress, as this is the key command for editing the colours list. For those of you who don't know this shortcut works exactly the same as F12 (Hide/Show dashboard but in slow motion.
    You may be supprised that I find this of somewhat limited usefulness.
    Can anybody help?
    Ta

    Hi supertottenham
    The Shift key is slo-mo for several functions so I doubt if it can be disabled.
    However if Dashboard is not one of your priorities there is an app called TinkerTool which enables alterations to several of the built in apps including Dashboard which it stops appearing completely including Shift+F12
    It is a freeware download from http://www.bresink.de/
    Hope this is of some use

  • Broken shortcut keys

    Wow... Talk about frustrating. Every time I start
    Dreamweaver, within a few minutes, I get an error (I believe the
    error is java or spry related) when using random menu items.
    Afterwards, shortcut keys no longer work. This makes doing anything
    insanely slow. Restart DW and it does it again within minutes.
    Anyone else run into this problem and find a solution? Haven't had
    much luck with searches for it.
    Adobe, why did you break DW???? I have had more problems with
    DW CS3 and productivity has dropped considerably because of
    annoying bugs like this! Version 8 was much more stable and I had
    been totally happy since version 3. C'mon!!!
    Sorry about the rant.

    if you're testing in the flash test environment, disable shortcut keys.  retest.

  • Use Group Policy to disable user interface items and shortcut keys in IE

    Hi,
    We are creating a kiosk mode of IE with full restriction to the machines drives and other applications. For that we need to disable all the shortcuts keys like ctrl, shift, alt and combination of these keys. Can anyone help me on this. i want to done this
    through GPO. Client machines are windows 7 and we are having windows server 2008 R2 (AD server).
    Thanks,
    UdayaKumar S

    I need to disable the ctrl, Alt, and shift keys and combinations of these keys with other keys as for example, cltrl+H, Ctrl+o, ets., and most important thing is, we need to apply it only through GPO not by using any other tools/ applications.
    I'm not aware of any GPO-only methods to achieve your goal (hence my other suggestions), sorry.
    Others might comment here with their thoughts/suggestions/experiences..

  • How do you disable the shortcut key in Mail that deletes all mail in the trash folder

    Is there a way to disable the shortcut key in Mail in Mountain Lion that deletes all mail in the Trash folder in all accounts: <shift><command><delete> ?
    I did it once by mistake and it deleted all my trash - it is very difficult to restore when there are thousands of messages in various emaiil accounts.
    Thanks

    While you can't (so far as I know) remove it - you can assign a different (& less likely to be used accidentally) one via System Preferences - Keyboard - Shortcuts.
    Go there, create a new one (or 2) for Mail only, and give it the exact name(s) if the menu item(s) in question, capitalisation & ... included.
    Below is on 10.6, but the idea's the same

  • Using PhotoShop CS4, How to disable 'Universal Shortcut Keys'?

    Hello all.
    I discovered in the latest OS, I am not able to customize my Action Shortcut Keys inside Adobe Photoshop CS4 because the "Universal Shortcut Keys" were "in the way"...; I used to able to do this with CS3 and Tiger.
    Let me illustrate:
    - In the new OS and the new keyboards: F1 is the Brightness Adjustment (Dimmer), and F4 is Dashboard (Launch)
    - In the older OS and CS3, I was able to create within, Action Shortcut Keys so that F1 I can create a Layer Mask and F4 I can delete a layer
    - In the new environment, whenever I press the F keys, the 'Universal Shortcuts' take priority.
    *How do I disable these Universal Shortcuts so that I can create customize shortcut keys?*
    Thanks and cheers

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply! Yeap this is what I am looking for, but unfortunately, or rather, I wish I can still have control over the volume keys somehow, because we work in an open environment, and sometimes we use headphones, sometimes we unplug to let our supervisor see and hear the work (by the way I am in the motion graphics business) So we constantly have to control the volume of the speakers.
    Well, I'll just have to put the Sound Control on the Menu Bar
    Thanks and cheers

  • How can I disable mac pro OSX 'spaces' shortcut keys? (i.e. CTL, Right Arrow)

    How can I disable mac pro shortcut keys: CTL right arrow, CTL left arrow, CTL up arrow, CTL down arrow? Currently, they take me from one space to another. (OSX 10.6) Goal is to use these shortcuts for text editing.

    Hi, Simon.
    You can instruct iTunes and iPhoto to save their respective libraries to a different disk, e.g. your second hard drive. You can also move existing libraries for these apps to a drive other than your startup disk.
    See the links concerning moving these libraries cited in the "More ways to save space if you have a spare partition or second hard drive" section of my "Freeing Space on your Mac OS X startup disk" FAQ.
    Good luck!

  • V570 - Is there a shortcut key to disable the Touchpad?

    V570 - Is there a shortcut key to disable the Touchpad?  Not a solid typist and i continually hit the pad which messes up my typing.  Would like to shut it off but be able to turn back on quickly.  Thanks!!

    I had this same problem and the F6 function key did not work. I also could not manually disable the touchpad via Device Manager. I reinstalled the touchpad driver and am now able to use F6 to disable, though I still cannot via Device Manager. I installed the Synaptics PS/2 driver for Lenovo V570c onto my V570 and it works.

  • Tab key used as the shortcut key when using a text entry box

    When I use the Tab key as my shortcut key for a text entry box, it works fine in preview mode but does not work in the web browser preview mode.  I have tried to understand how I can take an existing project that is built for web browser application and make the tab key work.  The only thing I have been able to make my text feild entry take me to the next slide is to have the user click Enter instead of Tab and that is not the typical way we move between fields in the real application.  So....simulations is not accurate.  Can you give me step-by-step instructions on how to correct this problem in an already existing project?

    I think that you need to disable "Seamless Tabbing" in your file for it to work when published.
    You need to edit the HTML file that launches your course manually.
    Open your HTML file in notepad or equivalent
    Between the <object> </object> tags add:
    <param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="false">
    Save the HTML file again

  • Utorrent shortcut keys stopped working

    All the key shortcuts under the 'File' Menu from uTorrent (run under wine) stopped working.
    ctrl+o , ctrl+d, ctrl+u and ctrl+n . All the other keyboard shortcuts from the other dropdown menus work; like ctrl+p, ctrl+r, ctrl+g . This problem started about a week ago, I did not change any settings to disable these keys.

    There's a new version of Wine every few weeks. If you updated it recently, that's probably the cause.
    Anyways, I agree with smakked. The latest version of Deluge has advanced RSS capabilties... so there really is no reason to use uTorrent. There's a billion other clients too, just do a package search for "torrent."
