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"?
Thanks!

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.

Take it to an Apple store or dealer to get it repaired.

When I click on the 'help' key in the elements 12 program it wants to open it in Firefox2. Firefox doesn't work on my Macbook Pro Air. I use Safari. How do I get it to open?

Hmm, that is very strange. I agree with MichelB that it's probably best just to get the PDF, but you can try going to your username>library>preferences and deleting:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
To see the library, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
Repair permissions and see if that does it.

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.
Below is on 10.6, but the idea's the same

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

HELP! Where is the Help key!

I am running an old Powerbook G4 1GHz, and a program I am using has Cmd-Help as a key combo.
I notice that there is no Help key on the Powerbook, indeed there is no help key on the new Aluminum keyboards either.
Any suggestions as to where it has gone..... actually, is there a key combo that replaced the help key itself?

Hi David,
Try
commandshift?
and see if that'll do what you need. It's the shortcut to access the Help Menu on Macs.

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,

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.
