Crazy Keyboard

I use a Toshiba Satellite laptop, Windows 10. I am a "hunt and peck" two-fingered 'typist.' While composing e mail (Yahoo but it has also happened with G-Mail) i many times hit a wrong key and the mail disappears. No, I do not know which keys. It seems to happen with some of the upper ones but no I do not know which ones. I read that there is some way to disable keys, that were intended to give shortcuts to disabled persons. but I have not been able to locate that article again and have no idea what keys are doing this terribly frustrating thing to me. I would be forever grateful for any help.

Hi Tom,

Yahoo doesn't have an option to disable the keyboard shortcuts.

If the Yahoo web experience is giving you trouble, an alternative solution is to install an email client such as Mozilla Thunderbird and use that to read and send your Yahoo email.

Here are the directions for Yahoo + Thunderbird + IMAP - Can I use thunderbird with Yahoo Mail?

Did I misunderstand your question? I thought you were asking how to disable keyboard shortcuts.

If you meant the Windows accessibility options this article from Microsoft might be what you're looking for - Accessibility in Windows 10

I believe these accessibility keys are what's making my writings disappear. I need to know how to disable those keys. Thanks.
