Disabling Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts can be disabled in Settings → Accessibility → Enable Keyboard Shortcuts.
This is useful for:
- Screen reader users, where shortcuts like
1,2,A,Bmay conflict with the reader’s own navigation - Users who prefer to navigate purely by mouse or touch
- Situations where accidental key presses cause unwanted choice selections
When disabled, all keyboard shortcuts (choice selection, scrolling, menu shortcuts) are turned off.
Note: Keyboard shortcuts are automatically disabled on mobile/touch-only devices.
