At times, users may have assigned common keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + F or Ctrl + G to other applications or games. Disabling the browser Find shortcut on your WordPress website prevents those hotkeys from conflicting with your site experience.
The Content Protection feature in Nexter Extension lets you disable specific keyboard shortcuts sitewide. You can turn off the browser Find shortcut and other common hotkeys based on your preferences.
To check the complete feature overview documentation of the Content Protection feature, click here.
Best Used For:
- Gaming or interactive WordPress sites where Ctrl+F conflicts with in-page keyboard shortcuts
- Sites with protected or proprietary content where browser-level content discovery should be restricted
- Member portals and course sites that want to prevent users from searching for hidden content using browser shortcuts
To disable the Find feature, follow the steps below:
From the Dashboard, go to Nexter > Nexter Extension > Security.
In the Content Protection section, turn on the toggle, and click Configure to open the settings.
In the settings panel, go to the Protections tab and enable the Disable Search Hot Keys toggle.
From the Who Can Access section, select the user roles you want to exclude from this restriction. Users with those roles will still be able to use the Find shortcut.
Click Save.
