How to disable a keyboards shutdown and sleep keys ?
Hello all,
I've had to get myself a new keyboard, and it got two keys I could do well without: One that instantly turns my computer off and another which, also instantly, makes it sleep. I've been googeling for solutions, but the ones I could find just mitigate the effects. Like I have disabled the "sleep" mode of my 'puter (blocking the effect of the "sleep" key) and changed the "power button" setting from "shut down" to "Ask me what to do" - which /ofcourse/ now also happens when I push the on/off button on the desktop machine itself. :-( I've been looking into the "Scancode map" (replacing the "keystrokes" with something else), but have not been successfull in that regard. tl;dr: does anyone have an idea how to (programmatically!*) disable the 'power' and 'sleep' keyboard keys ? *if all else fails I guess I could physically remove those keys, but want to see if it can be done less destructive. Regards, Rudy Wieser |
