Disable keyboard shortcuts for the Windows app
It is not currently possible to disable shortcuts for the Windows app. As a workaround, you can customize the keyboard shortcuts in a way that you're unlikely to accidentally trigger a shortcut. The shortcuts can be set to use any number of keys (as long as they have two modifier keys such as Shift, Control, or Alt).
