Disable the Backquote key " ` "

Hello, I am attempting to disable my backquote key. (The ` / ~ key, at the very top left of the keyboard)
Is there any way to do this? I've tried the third-party app "Karabiner," however no such option exists, and I am unsure how to properly edit the included 'private.xml' to achieve the desired effect.
Thanks,
Lex

How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?

Hi. My subject says it all. How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?
At first I thought I had a virus or something because when I typed only weird symbols came out. Then I reset the computer. Then I couldn't even log in. I tried Time Machine etc.
Then I realized that the "fn" key wasn't working right. It seems to be working backwards. It acts like it's being pushed when it's not, and when I do push it it acts like it's not being used.
So it's kind of a simple problem but it's really annoying.
Is there a way I can just disable it permanently? Even physical force if necessary. I tried to break it but it wouldn't break. I don't really use the key anyway so it doesn't really matter. I don't want to pay a bunch of money to replace a key I don't even use.
Thanks. I hope someone knows.

That's the best answer. Yeah usually if you press "fn" or "option" you can get it to work for awhile.
Yeah I have considered some kind of external keyboard also. It will make a laptop less laptopish. But it could do the job for awhile.
It's sad because I don't even care about the "fn" or "option" keys.
But anyway it's not catastrophic at least.
And yeah maybe we can get a new computer later or something. I like mine though. It's customized and is how I like it right now.
Anyway thanks for the reply.

Disabling the enter key

Hi, I have a jsf page that has an <h:inputText> fileld, and whenever I fill it and press enter the form gets submmited. I want to disable the enter key, so that if the user hits enter nothing will happen. This way the form will only be submmited by clicking a button with the mouse.
Thank you,
Komyg

You can use javascript to do this. The merits of using javascript can be saved for another time. Simply put 'javascript disable enter key' in a Google search and you will find what you need. Here is the link at the top of that list:

Good luck.

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.

Disable the Help Key

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro and Wireless keyboard. I am constantly hitting the "Help" key on accident and it's very frustrating when the help box pops up.
Is there a way to disable the "Help Key"?

Hi N7Daniel,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are having some problems accessing your BIOS. F10 doesn't work with Windows 8. If you scroll down in your own link it mentions that to access the BIOS you need to go to your Advanced Options and then select Troubleshooting and then the UEFI Firmware Settings. That will bring you to the BIOS. This is all under Accessing UEFI BIOS section of your link. There you can Disable the Function Keys.

How to disable the Tab key?

Hi,
Usually，the most end users select partners name or code by the Tab key or pickers, how can I disable Tab key? I want users to select a partner by user-defined values.
Best Regards!

Hi,
We donu2019t have a provision for disable the tab key in B1.
If you are assigning user defined value in any field, magnifying class will be displaying.
You should give a KT to end user that donu2019t use tab key, instead of tab key please click on magnifying class in those filed.
Thanks and Regards,

Disable the Close Key on Yoga 13

I am looking for a way to disable the Close button (where F4 button is located) while still keeping the functionality of the FN keys.
The Close button is incredibly annoying (not even really sure why it is needed) as whenever I go to increase sound using the volume up button, I sometimes end up pressing the Close Window button. Which obviously closes any window (Word Document, Web Browser, etc) that I have open.
Is there any way to completely disable or swap the functionality of the button for something else?

Added it to my patch, a long time ago, just for you:

Disable the tab key

I have TextFields in a column (one under each other). If I select a TextField clicking with the mouse on it, I can move to the next one pressing the tab key. How can I disable this?
Thanks in advance.

You really should not disable this as it's standard GUI practice. But, if you must, I can think of two ways:
One would be to setup a key listener that is active when somone is in any of those fields....if the key is tab, you eat up that key event.
or
set the controls isFocusTraversable() to false.

Disable the windows key?

Task manager can easily be disabled by changing a registry value. I also need to lock out the Windows keys. Since NI claims that LabVIEW is Part 11 compliant, I would have assumed that this function would be standard but I digress.
I have found the registry value but for some reason, the value does not get written into the registry correctly:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,5B,E0,00,00,5C,E0,00,00,00,00
I have also tried to write the binary value (0000 0000 0000 0000 0300 0000 0000 5BE0 0000 5CE0 0000 0000) as well with no luck.
Any ideas??
Thanks all!

Go to Solution.

Thanks to you I have no windows key (until I reboot ). Change the setting for the string const. Then you can write pure hex values. Go to the msdn web site and cut and paste the values .Worked for me. Then I came to work today I had no windows key
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

I need to disable the delete key from going back a page.

My son is doing online homeschooling. If he is taking a quiz and accidentally hits the delete key to correct a word in his answer the page goes back and he is kicked out of the quiz. I need to disable this function in Safari to protect him from this. Please help.

HI John,
That would require remapping. This thread has some links available that may help.

Possibly http://www.hotkey.com. You can assign Command + Backspace as a shortcut for Delete.
