How to disable ctrl+backspace

I would like to know how to disable the ctrl+backspace command to log out of solaris. I am used to ctrl+backspace in windows allowing you to delete the last word you typed and I keep press that shortcut out of habit and loose my work.
Thanks,

It's built in to the X server. I don't think you can disable this via X resources.
You might be able to do a command-line login, then run your own X server (point it at a copy of xorg.conf in your home directory). But that's a lot of work.

There used to be a win32 call for it, so if you want it you'll need to go back to C/C++ and do JNI, provided it is still in the API.

How to disable CTRL+ALT+S on Win8

I have an HP notebook (Pavilion 17 or something) with Windows 8 64-bit.
I mainly use it (and primarily bought it) to play video games.
The shortcut CTRL+ALT+S (which opens system information) interferes with playing video games as I use those keys when doing so and far too often at the same time.
How do I disable the CTRL+ALT+S shortcut?
I mean besides a clean install of Windows without any HP programs, obviously.

Hello @jdk21,
Welcome to the HP 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 have read your post on how you are looking to disable the CTRL + ALT + S combination on your notebook computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To disable this combination, I recommend performing a clean boot on your computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on How to perform a clean boot in Windows. This should help boot your system with a minimal set of drivers and software, enabling your system to keep the settings changed with the keyboard combination.
If the issue continues, I recommend following the steps below by proceeding to this file location:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\HP Help and Support
Right click HP Support Information
Click properties
Click the box next to shortcut key
Hit backspace so the field says 'none'
Apply
Done!
(Note, If you can't access the folder above you need to show hidden & system files. In a file explorer window click the view tab at the top, then click options on the right, select 'change folder and search options' if prompted. go to the view tab in the popup. check show hidden files, folders, drives. uncheck hide protected operating system files. apply)

How to disable CTRL + ESC from regedit?

Hello,
I have an issue and need to disable ctrl+esc in Windows 8. I found some FixIt to do that but it's only for Windows 7. I know that in previous version it was possible (per example with changes in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell] "DisableCtrlEsc"=dword:00000001).
Thank you in advance,
Best regards!
Slobodan

I am afraid there is no official method to disable Ctrl+Esc.

How to disable Ctrl-F on PDFs

For those of us who create .PDFs that students will use during open-book tests, it would be helpful if we could disable the Ctrl-F function.
I know that if I save the .PDF as a jpeg or something similar, Ctrl-F becomes disabled, but for various reasons that's not a route I'd like to take.
According to a Google search today, there have been a bunch of educators / training managers trying to disable Ctrl-F.
thank you
curt

There is no sure proof way to eliminate searching for information on a regular pdf file by embedding something into the pdf using standard Acrobat technology---which is why you have put in a feature request. Most approaches that don't rasterize a pdf will not work. The student could use a different pdf-reader or disable javascript, if you are trying to limit searching functionality.
There might be a way using an Adobe Livecycle product, you could check the LiveCycle forums, but if that would work we are talking about an very expensive product that requires the use of a server.

How to disable ctrl,shift while drag and drop

after starting the drag, i donnot want the user to change action with ctrl & shift. how can i do that?

The Error Console click is visible in Tools of FireFox 3.6.8. Against it is mentioned the shortcut key Ctrl+Shift+J. How can I do away with this shortcut key? If I want to see the Error Console, I can click at it. This shortcut key of FireFox is interfering with this very shortcut key on InfraWare Transcription Client 2009 on which I work online and which is set to run on Internet Explorer only.
I thank you for asking me to go through a whole gamut of an article on Key Configuration much of which is Greek to me. I am getting nowhere doing that.

ADF 10G : How to disable CTRL + Combination key ?

Dear all,
I developed ADF application using ADF 10.1.3 and have the requirement to prevent user from press the ctrl+ key ( like ctrl + p ) .
Firstly , I used JavaScript to disable this function and it worked on IE and Chrome but not on Firefox.
Actually, it work on firefox only the first time that user press ctrl key but when user press it again without reloading page , it is not worked.
This is JavaScript that I used
function disableCtrlKeyCombination(e)
            var isCtrl;
            if(window.event)
                //IE
                 if(window.event.ctrlKey)
                    isCtrl = true;
                 else
                    isCtrl = false;
            else{
                //firefox
                if(e.ctrlKey)
                     isCtrl = true;
                else
                     isCtrl = false;
            //if ctrl is pressed return false to disable
            if(isCtrl){
               alert('Key CTRL has been disabled.');
               return false;
            return true;
        }and I call this javaScript function with this code.
<af:document title="test" id="document1"
                    onkeydown="disableCtrlKeyCombination(event)"
                    onkeypress="disableCtrlKeyCombination(event)">So, I think there are other way that we can do with this problem or I have to modify coding to support this functionality on FireFox Browser.
Regards,
zenoni

Thank Frank and John,
I tried to follow the instruction that you give me but result still be the same.
I think the problem is not involve with javaScript because I can detect CTRL at the first time but the problem will occur in 2 cases.
1 . It will occurs when user press ctrl button for the second time after we close alert box .
2. when the page still shows alert message and user tried to press ctrl button ( ctrl+n and it worked)
So, I think Firefox have some background process that monitor user input or have some thing .

How to disable ctrl-click acting as right click?

Hi there,
Is there a way to disable the ctrl-click behaviour? I really need ctrl-click to act as a ctrl-click and not as a right click.
For example in gaming, I use ctrl to crouch, and ctrl-click to shoot while I am crouching, but instead, it uses right click which is not on my purpose.
I never had this problem before, having a macbook pro for a couple of months now, and the problem appeared yesterday so I know it is possible to do it.
Edit: I've looked all over the settings and all over the Internet for any answer, found nothing :/
Thanks for reading

Hi,
I've look all over the settings (trackpad, mouse, accessibility) and found nothing that can solve my problem. The issue is not necessary linked to the trackpad (I use USB mouse).
If you could be more precise I'd appreciate

How to disable "ctrl W" on Firefox 3.6.9?

I've been an emacs user for 25 years; "ctrl W" is built into my brain as "delete marked text" not as "kill tab". When using web based email composition in Firefox, accidental "ctrl W" drives me crazy.
Browsing for solutions, I see that "KeyConfig" add-on used to support my request, but apparently not for Firefox 3.6.9.

You can bump the maxVersion to 3.6.* to make Keyconfig work in Firefox 3.6.9

How to disable ctrl+v in JPasswordField?

Like in topic;)

You can probably remove the key bindings.
However, there is a really easy solution:
JPasswordField already disables cut and copy. You can just override "paste" to do the same as one of these:
JPasswordField noCopyField = new JPasswordField() {
public void paste() {
UIManager.getLookAndFeel().provideErrorFeedback(this);
// or just copy();
}

Ctrl+shift+U - Unicode input, how to disable?

Anyone knows how to disable ctrl+shift+u unicode input?
Whenever I press ctrl+shift+u, I get an underlined "u" and can enter some unicode number. However, I don't need it, and because of this, for example in qt creator the predefined "ctrl+shift+u" keyboard shortcut doesn't work.
I have no idea where this mapping comes from (obviously not qt, since ctrl+shift+u is mapped to an important shortcut), but maybe gnome or the xserver?
Thanks already

I just updated from Ubuntu 13.10 to Ubuntu 14.04 and I found that I have exactly this same problem, which is being caused by ibus (my up to date Arch system doesn't seem to have the problem). You can see if ibus is running on your system via:
$ ps aux | grep -i ibus
peniwize 3108 0.0 0.2 47180 3620 ? Ssl Jun09 1:44 /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --daemonize --xim

I'm running XFCE and there is now a "Language Support" icon in the "Settings" panel (select "Settings Manager" on the main menu.) The Language Support app contains a "Keyboard input method system" selection on Language tab. I changed it from 'IBus' to 'None' and now Ctrl+Shift+u works again. (This is a quick and dirty solution that works for me because I'm only using English and never have to type special characters.)

How can I disable ctrl+alt+del and other keys

I need help on how to disable some keyboard key combinations (ctrl+alt+del)in particular. Disabling other keyboard keys is equally welcomed.
Also how can I disable Windows 2000/XP's Task Manager from exposing my running program to be terminated.
Thanks

Also how can I disable Windows 2000/XP's Task Manager
from exposing my running program to be terminated.This can be done by limiting the permissions of the Windows user that you would like to prevent from doing this. The user manager lets you do this.

How can I configure CTRL+Backspace to delete the previous word only and not the preceding space?

The title pretty much explains it all. I'm using a different computer than usually and I'm pretty sure it used to only delete the word and not the space.

Your observation is correct: Ctrl+BackSpace shouldn't delete the preceding space. However, if words are separated by two spaces, one of those spaces will be deleted.
Stefan Blom, Microsoft Word MVP
This is not the observed functionality in every case. It seems that MSWord haphazardly either removes the space or doesn't remove it.
As an example, if I type "and when" and hit CTRL+Backspace, it will either delete the word only or the word and the space, but in most cases it will remove the space as well ("and when" becomes "and"). It seems to toggle between the two but I have no idea
what is triggering it.

How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep?!!!

I would like to play a movie on my iMac but to watch it on my LCD TV. How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep. PLS have in mind that ctrl+shift+ eject does not work, it makes my iMac screen go black as well as the tv screen.So far, i have red many articles concerning this subject, but no one seems to have the right answer. I simply can´t believe that apple did not think of it, as it is nothing new ....
Thanks

My brother has eight cats, so your not along. Fortunetly his go outside.
I have been talking to the people over at macforums and they had some good thoughts. One guy suggested going analog and soldering in a rocker switch on the cable connecting a hub to the computer, turn off switch turns off keyboard and mouse.
I was prepared to try that but a great idea came along. Arch, you might be interested in this too. Buy a cheap (found one locally for $20) usb kvm switch that takes one usb keyboard and mouse and connects it to two pcs/macs and only connect one of the outs to my system. There is a button to switch between the two, so when I want to disable the keyboard and mouse, I just switch it to pc2, which is not connected to anything.
Cheap and easy solution. I wish I could of figured out how to do this with software, since there would be no money if it was freeware, but I guess you cant win them all.
Thanks everyone for chiming in!
