How to disable Ctrl-C, Print Scren

Hi, I'm pretty new to PWB and have searched the settings PDF/forum posts, but cannot find a setting for disabling the keyboard commands for Cut/Copy and Print screen (aka disabling the clipboard).

My example is that I can highlight a block of text, press Ctrl-C, exit PWB and then paste the question into Word. I do have the Cut/Copy/Paste buttons disabled in the INI file but the keyboard functions still work.

Thanks for any suggestions. -Pete

The easiest way is to enable the clear cache on close. This will not only clear the cache, it will also clears the clipboard when PWB is closed.

[Security]
ClearCacheOnClose=True

The Print Screen button is a Windows function and would need a secondary application, however disabling the buttons and menu items in the PWB INI file should prevent the keyboard shortcuts, but we will look into it.

Thank you! That worked, and also blocked the print screen image too.
