How can we disable keyboard shortcuts on webpages?

I am using the add-on firemacs, which allows us to edit text with emacs key-bindings.
The problem is: some key-bindings (set by firemacs) are overwritten at several webpages (e.g. Evernote and StackExchange).
For example, Ctrl-b moves normally the text cursor to the previous character in a textarea. But in the textarea at any site of StackExchange, Ctrl-b creates `**strong text**`.
Is it possible to disable keyboard shortcuts without disabling shortcuts for firemacs?
The trivial solution is to disable JavaScript. But I want to know a possibility of other solutions.

StackExchange links to a bunch of other sites, so I looked at the superuser.com site. The specific script that creates the interactive features of the editor is http://cdn.sstatic.net/Js/wmd.en.js. It's minified so I can't figure out the call needed to remove the keypress event listener. (Actually, I'm not sure I could figure it out even with the full source, as I don't use jQuery.) Maybe it's a question for StackOverflow?

    No, Firefox is user choice rules over the "wants" of individual websites as far as disabling contextual menus and the keyboard commands.
    Placing a transparent image over the image will keep the less technical user from saving the main image. If they do try to save it all they'll get is the transparent image overlay.

  • How can I disable Keyboard ShortCut???

    Hi everyone,
    I use to write my PL/SQL in SQL Developer because the great features it offers. But I've noticed when I press ctrl + down or ctrl + up in the editor, it inserts code from the history, a very interesting feature, but it is a bit difficult to me, because I accidentally puts a lot of code when editing...
    I want to know if I can in anyway disable this feature...

    you can disable it in the accelerators settings.
    The actions are called: SQL History: append from next, and append from previous
    good luck

  • How can I disable mouse shortcuts (mission control, etc) in games?

    I just installed the new Deus Ex: Human Revolution from the App Store and I'd like to use the miltiple mouse buttons my  Logitech mouse has in my game. I can set up the controls to use various buttons in the game, but I also have the same mouse buttons set up in the System Preferences to be used for mouse shortcuts. The problem is, when I try to use the game, the "All Applications" or the "Show Desktop" shortcuts kick in instead of the games setup controls.
    How can I disable the Mouse Shortcuts for the system while I'm in the game?

    Forgive me... I should have said:
    How do I permenantly disable the shortcuts only while in the game, without having to redo my System Preferences every time I start or stop my game?

  • How can I disable a shortcut in the LabVIEW development System?

    I'm using LabVIEW with a swiss keyboard. However if I will use the #
    sign I have to press "als Gr"  +  #. But LabVIEW will always
    enable/disable the grid because this is also a grid shortcut...
    Is there a way to disable the alt + #  function? Can I simply edit a "LabVIEW.rtm" file to disable this shortcut?
    My current work aaround is to copy the sign from word into LabVIEW...

    Hi,
    Unfortunately the keyboard shortcuts are only editable in LV 8.0.
    For a list of keyboard shortcuts in LV 7.x look at the following link:
    http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/D6B3873AFCF2CB7886256D2B006F4071?OpenDocument&node=13210...
    In LV 8.0 you can edit the shortcuts in Tools->Options in the category Menu Shortcuts.
    I hope it helps.

  • How do I disable keyboard shortcuts in Fireworks?

    I have been unable to type anything inside of Fireworks CS6.  Somehow my keyboard shortcuts have been activated and my mouse's left-click option is disabled.  I'm sure this is just a matter of hit a combination of keys, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.  I am using the Mac Maverick OS.

    I used to use the keyconfig extension to change keyboard assignments:

  • The keyboard shortcut that turns an exclamation mark into an apostrophe no longer works in iOS 6. How can I restore that shortcut?

    the keyboard shortcut that turns an exclamation mark into an apostrophe no longer works in iOS 6. How can I restore that shortcut?

    Well, I for one really hate when they change this stuff.  They get us used to doing it one way for years and then they change it.  Why?  Really, seriously, truly......WHY?
    In fact, I originally noticed it had changed and then when I'd hit it, I thought it required me to touch both so I ended up with an apostrophe but then also a letter "l".  I just left commas everywhere I went for a while cuz it ticked me off so bad I just rebelled.
    In ios5 it was actually faster because it's the same move and time involved, but without the extra "slide".  So, in essence, Apple went backwards.
    Nice, eh?

  • 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!

  • How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC?

    How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC? When I create rectangle I can't transform it by dragging and it's only the problem with rectangle, not with circle, star etc. I try show/hide edges/bounding box reset preferences and reinstall whole illustrator CC and it's the same. I can only make this right by expand this rectangle, which is shape as is turn out to rectangle by clicking object>shape>expand rectangle. But this is so frustrating. Help!:) oh, and I use OSX. My friend has the same specs and it's works. I mean she can use live shape corner transformations and changing size by draging:(

    I’ve created my own plugin (available for free for personal and commercial use) which imitates behavior of the ‘old’ Rectangle Tool. It doesn’t replace the Live Rectangle – it works completely independent!
    My Plain Rectangle Tool correctly snaps to grids/objects/points and correctly aligns to grid/points on resize. Of course it supports the SHIFT and ALT/OPTION keys, Snap to Grid and Smart Guides options. In other words it works almost 100% the same as the Rectangle Tool we know from CC (17.1), CS6 and earlier.
    The installation package (zxp) adds ‘Plain Rectangle Tool’ icon into the Ai panel (of curse you can assign your custom keyboard shortcut to it as well)
    Note: The Plain Rectangle can be easily converted into the Live one using Object > Shape > Convert to Rectangle
    Grab your copy at http://63mutants.com/subc/products/PlainRectangleTool_m01/PlainRectangleTool_m01.php Feel free to share with your friends. It’s completely free.
    I’ve also created a separate discussion https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1587587 for the Plain Rectangle Tool. If you have any comments or request please post it there. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    Go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for Keyboard Viewer.  Then select Keyboard Viewer from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.  It will show all the special characters you can make when you press the alt and alt + shift keys.
