Random actions occur when touching the keyboard

I lay my hand on the keyboard, as it's way too difficult to move my hands away just so I don't accidentally press any keys while thinking/reading. However, because I have a modified keyboard so it's easier to press the keys, more often than not I find whatever text editor or program I'm using complaining that I'm holding or pressing a key repeatedly.

I'd love an option to disable all custom keyboard shortcuts (not just single-key ones, but two-key ones that are not present in a stock web browser), just so I can use the website without triggering a million popups and random actions, and finding myself being obstructed away from what I'm trying to do due to a random command triggering.

should be possible to disable it from your accessibility settings ( https://github.com/settings/accessibility ), just did that here succesfully

Thanks, but it was disabled all this time, but it doesn't seem to do anything for me :/ Or at least, it doesn't disable nearly enough keyboard shortcuts.

Are you talking specifically about disabling keyboard shortcuts when using github.com, or in general using a browser, or simply using your keyboard for anything?

[SonoSooS]

I meant disabling all custom keyboard shortcuts provided specifically on github.com, so things like CTRL-C should still work, but custom shortcuts provided by github.com should cease to function.

I only use keyboard for text input, and I use touchpad for control otherwise.
