Menu
EDIT: After waited a while and didn't get anything yet, I've decided to do shortcut disable thingy only for IE now. Is there a possibility to disable IE shortcut keys to access menus/print etc. via vbscript?
Is it possible to disable browser shortkeys?
Because many of them are using in application. For instance, Ctrl+p is using and I don't want browser to popup the print window.

Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer. Double-click on the Turn off Windows Key Hotkeys option on the right-hand side.
To disable the restriction, set the value to 0. NoFileOpen Disables Open command on File menu, CTRL+O, and CTRL+L.
Yes, you can listen for the various key combinations with javascript and disable the default behaviors. There's even a library that you can use and test here. I just tested it using google chrome and firefox in their demo textarea, and it works as you want.
shortcut.add("Ctrl+P",function() {
return;
});
This works in the browsers that I listed above, but IE will not allow you to override the default behavior in some cases.
Your only option in IE is to disable the Ctrl key entirely with something like:
document.onkeydown = function () {
if (event.keyCode == 17) alert('Ctrl Key is disabled');
};
Which is not ideal and probably not what you want, but it will work.

You can try creating an event handler for keydown event, check on the keyCode and prevent its default action if needed. However this will not work in all browsers.
An example for Firefox (canceling "Print" short key, verified):
document.addEventListener("keydown", function(oEvent) {
if (oEvent.keyCode == 80 && oEvent.ctrlKey)
oEvent.preventDefault();
}, false)
There is a nice trick to fight with IE10+, to avoid display browser menus on alt key combinations, like Alt + F, Alt + H ...
I recently used on IE11, just add an anchor with the attribute accesskey:[yourKey] on your body
<body>
<a href="#" accesskey="f"></a>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onkeydown = function(e){
console.log(e.keyCode + " alt: " + e.altKey);
e.preventDefault();
};
window.onkeyup = function(e){
console.log(e.keyCode + " alt: " + e.altKey);
e.preventDefault();
};
</script>
</body>
Now when you press Alt + f the browser will not display "File popup" as usual, and will let events keydown and keyup gets to you, and not only keydown.
