Disable Commands – Custom Key Binding gives you full control over the WordPress Command Palette (introduced in WordPress 6.9).

This plugin is essential if you need to:
* Resolve keyboard shortcut conflicts with other software or browser extensions.
* Simplify the admin interface for yourself or your clients.
* Prevent the accidental triggering of the command palette.
* Customize the default shortcut to better fit your personal workflow.

Features include:
1. Disable Command Palette: A simple toggle to completely disable the wp-commands script.
2. Custom Key Binding: Remap the command palette shortcut to any combination of modifier keys (Ctrl/Cmd, Alt, Shift) and a single letter, number, or punctuation key. For example, use Ctrl + Shift + P instead of the default Ctrl/Cmd + K.

All settings are managed from a single, user-friendly page in the WordPress admin.

Configuration

On the plugin’s settings page, you will find two main sections:

1. Disable Command Palette
* Option: Check this box to disable the WordPress admin command palette (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K).

2. Custom Key Binding
* Override Default Shortcut: Check this box to activate the custom shortcut feature.
* Shortcut Combination: Use the checkboxes to select your desired modifier keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt, Cmd/Meta) and the input field to define a single character key (e.g., ‘k’, ‘p’, ‘/’). The default combination is Ctrl/Cmd + K.
