How do I disable shortcuts?
You can disable keyboard shortcuts in your user profile. Note that this will not disable rich text formatting (i.e. command + “B” for bold) or keyboard navigation (i.e. hitting tab to move to the next interactive element). At this time, if you disable shortcuts you will not be able to access specific item searches (i.e. “P” to search Passwords).
