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

    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 web security in firefox

    Please let us know how to disable web security in mozilla firefox .
    I tried re-setting the below :
    security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy;true
    network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy
    but its not working.
    Whereas in chrome we have the below option to set websecurity :
    chromium-browser --disable-web-security
    Please advice.

    Hi,
    I understand that you would like to know how to disable web security in Firefox and you have tried: security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy;true and network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy. These are cross domain single origin policy that refers to a specific header int HTTP.
    The chromium-browser --disable-web-security essentially does the same thing. (Ideally) It seems from a couple of sources that this does not actually disable Cors as well? Hence (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1039678)
    Please do report back with what you find!
    EDit: It sounds like the feature you are looking for has not been implemented yet.

  • 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+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,
    CampSoup1988

    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.

  • 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 Ginger software in firefox

    After installing Ginger my firefox is getting slower. If is this true then how may i disable Ginger from Firefox without uninstalling.
    Regards,
    Jedson Ack
    ''[unnecessary link removed by Moderator]''

    '''{ Ctrl + Shft + A }''' to open the Add-ons Tab, then click on Extensions- look around there for Ginger, and then Plugins if you don't see that app in Extensions.
    Is there an extension installed for that program? <br />
    If so, just click on Disable to disable that extension.
    If that doesn't fix it for you, see Ginger support. I couldn't find any specifics regarding how that application interacts with web browsers via their FAQ's, and it looks like registration is needed to ask a question - I couldn't an open support forum.

  • 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 .
    Regards,
