These do nothing on my Mac, so I'm not sure what you are seeing. Do you
have a custom frontscript installed, or a rawKeyDown handler? Anyway,
you can probably use a rawKeyDown handler to trap those keys, and only
pass the message if the key isn't one you want to block.
Other ways to stop keyboard navigation: set the navigationArrows to
true, or write an arrowKey handler that doesn't pass the message:
on arrowkey
-- block
end arrowkey
