Disabling Logos Shortcuts - A Work Around (left, right, theme change)

With the assumption that I'm not the only person who desperately needs the ability to disable and/or change certain Logos shortcut keystrokes, I want to share a workaround that others may want to consider implementing.

I constantly have issues with the 'left' and 'right' arrow keys changing my resource. There are so many reasons this happens - such as thinking I've clicked in the textbox, but the click 'didn't take' so now I'm staring at a Syriac text….in the middle of a non-Syriac class as I'm trying to teach my students how to use Logos. The frustration levels are high with this one.

And the f4 button changes your theme from light to dark, or dark to light. The number of times I've had my theme change on me because of a errant keystroke is ridiculously high. (f4 is right next to my mute button.)

And since Logos doesn't give us a way to turn off these things, I found a way to disable these using AHK (autohotkey v1.1). It's easy enough to setup with instructions on the internet. They have a very helpful community. Here's the code I use for these issues:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe Logos.exe
LEFT::Return
RIGHT::Return
^Left::Left
^Right::Right
F4::Return
#IfWinActive

Lines 2 and 3 disable the right and left arrow keys. Unfortunately it does not look possible to disable them from switching books while also allowing them to work normally in any of the various text boxes within Logos. So lines 4 and 5 creates a workaround where if you push a L or R arrow key with the ctrl key, then it will function as the L and R arrow keys normally would on their own. This will allow you to move your cursor indicator within a textbox. It's not ideal having to use the work around for the text boxes, but now at least my students won't see my frustration at Logos' shortcut changing the text we're looking at mid-class.

Then the 6th line disables the theme change connected to F4.

The first and last line means that these changes only work when Logos is the active window. And it's possible to disable other shortcut keys and create some work arounds. (AHK has good documentation online and a helpful community to assist.) I have tried to tweak other things in Logos through AHK, but some haven't worked. But I'm glad some do.
