Often lose large forum posts (when I am composing them) when I mis-hit and get the control key first when wanting to type a capital w.

Would be nice if this particular shortcut could be disabled

Thanks a lot. I figured there would be a way but couldn't find anything relevant in my searches other than a reference to a feature that wasn't on my system, plus a Mozilla statement that shortcuts were NOT user configurable.


It will likely save my laptop from a grisly end when it happens once too often.
