Hi @foresto, Thanks so much for reaching out in our community! You can disable character key shortcuts, while still allowing shortcuts that use modifier keys, in your accessibility settings. For more information, see "Managing accessibility settings." |

I have already done that, as stated in my post. It doesn't fix the problem, because more browser-breaking shortcuts remain that cannot be disabled. That's the problem. |

Dear GitHub,
Your keyboard shortcuts have been infuriating thorns in my side since they were first imposed, and they remain so even today.
The worst have been those that hijack my browser's built-in shortcuts, such as making PageDown jump to the bottom of a 4000 line file instead of scrolling down one page, or blocking Firefox's built-in Control+G shortcut for find-next (reported as #61100).
I have already disabled both search and command mode shortcuts in the GitHub accessibility settings. It doesn't help. Your keyboard interception persists, breaking basic browser functionality and making almost every visit to a GitHub repo a frustrating experience.
The present behavior is the opposite of accessibility. It makes me want to cry.
Please, for the love of sanity, will you give us a way to disable this madness completely?
