[gui-talk] Keys On A Laptop

[Doug Lee]

Some laptops I've seen use controls for those buttons that seem to
sense the presence of your hand, which means you've pressed a button
before you know you found it.  If that happens to be a mute button,
you're in for a fun afternoon.

Hi All,

Is it possible to completely disable the keys on a laptop above the
function keys?  These are the keys that mute the sound if pressed, dims
the screen etc.  Thanks in advance for your help!
