I use the Cntrl+N shortcut a lot in mp3tag and because I am a terrible typist I sometimes hit Ctrl+B instead which blanks out all of the tags for the file I'm looking at. I don't ever use the Ctrl+B shortcut, so I'm wondering if there's a way to turn it off or disable it that I'm not aware of. It'd save me the time of having to re-enter whatever changes I just made and didn't get to save. Thank you! ---

Not that I know of. But perhaps a little investment into hardware might solve the problem. On my ergonomic keyboard, the keys for B and N are so far apart, that it is fairly unlikely that I hit the wrong one by accident: ![natural1](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/6/678463c866639e1b2a77b52de5aaef6e86a5f938.jpeg) And here is a thread about accidentally using the F1 key: > [@Error](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/error/10699): > > I do not want to see an error after "Help" folder removal: Please correct... ---

I actually hit the Ctrl+B combo all the time while trying to paste things. I would also like to request to be able to remap or disable this shortcut (or to customize the keyboard shortcuts altogether). It kills me when it happens on the last paste in a series of edits. I found this thread researching for a solution. ---

Any thought being put into allowing us to customize or disable keyboard whortcuts? The CNTRL+B is killing me. So close to CNTRL+V ☹ ---
