Hello!
I am making a typing game by using the “browser-events” extension. However, there is an issue with the “P” key. Pressing it prompts the editor to download / save the game and opens the explorer window. Is there a way to disable that?
Thank you.

If you want, I can make it easier for them to disable keys and shortcuts/keybinds by making an extension out of it if you would like me to make one repository out of it. I do know how to make extensions and I think I can make an extension for keymaps for any user to use it. Let me know if I should make a extension so the user can see it on the block editor easier without just using the JavaScript editor.

Thank you! It works, and honestly, the swap to JavaScript isn’t too bad especially that I don’t have a lot of code yet,

I appreciate the offer! If you have the time and really don’t mind it, I think that would be a great thing to do as it would help me and others in a similar situation. While we’re on the subject of making extensions, is there a way to get the keyboard input key return instead of having to check for every single key press?
In other words, a block that says “return key press” that returns a string with the name of the key that was pressed instead of having to do it manually like this:

I made the extension now for you here is the extension link you need to import to paste it in the Search or enter project URL for the extensions link
developertryingtocodelikeotherofthem/arcade-keymaps-disabling-shortcuts
paste that there then import that extension then after you will see it say keymap and you can now see the block you are looking for. I hope this helps.
