[SOLVED] Is there any way to disable a key on keyboard?

[wabale97]

I want to disable some keys on the keyboard that I rarely use but hit accidentally from time to time.
(Also I want to disable backspace to force me to increase my typing accuracy)

Autohotkey perfectly meets your demand 🆒

Can it script a keyblock? I don't know much about its scripting.

Yes. Go to their forum. there are threads that share scripts and I’m sure if you search for it you’ll find it

; Script to block a few different keys.
; The backspace key also displays a message.

; The Alt key (both)
Alt::return

; The Win keys (right and left)
RWin::return
LWin::return

; The Backspace key
Backspace::MsgBox Stop making some many typos! Use the delete key if needed.

This script will change 3 keys:

• Block Alt
• Block Win
• Backspace will show an annoying message.

All lines that begin with a semi-colon above are comments and can be removed.

More info about the "Keys" can be found on these 2 pages:
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm

If you want to block Alt+Ctrl+A, you could use this code:

!^a::Return

Use Notepad to create the script and save it with a .AHK extension like BlockKeys.ahk. Double click on the file to run it. AutoHotKey must be installed.

If it works, click on the little trophy beside of Grobes message above to show the thread has been answered.

Another thing I just want to mention. Personally I think that Notepad for windows suck. Personally I prefer Notepad2-mod, as it also does support ahk syntax.

while it may suck for programming purposes, fact it works when windows doesn't and can be used to copy files off a broken PC sure makes up for that in my eyes,
