Disable browser UI keyboard shortcuts?

[Chiefmas 40]

Is it possible to disable browser shortcuts? Really, I only care about one, control-t, which is the shortcut to open a new tab in basically every browser. So I'm constantly accidentally sending Emby to live TV- I'd actually been noticing it for the last few weeks, but I just now figured out what was going on.

Thanks!

Hi, we'll just stop overriding this one. No need for an option. Thanks.

Can you please remove CTRL + R too?
It's so annoying when Emby, or other web apps, hijack these common keyboard shortcuts.

HI, yes we can do that. Thanks.

Please add the option to disable shortcuts (if customization of shortcuts requires too much work).

It is very annoying. For example, `Ctrl+Alt+S` hijacks it from a browser extension - and it does not even offer something useful. It just ruins current page and display empty "Search" label without any functionality. Neither it does something, nor it focuses the search input.

Emby 4.9.1.80

Another example of unsolicited shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+O):

And there's unsolicited mouse gestures too.

On all web sites, double click selects the clicked text. Emby hijacks that to toggle Full Screen.

This happens when you try do copy title of a collection or a media

Is there a setting to turn that off?
