No option to remap (or at least disable) keyboard shortcuts

[ksze]

Description

I use element-web at chat.mozilla.org and it's super annoying that it overrides my keyboard shortcuts with no option for me to opt out. For example, Ctrl+. is usually bound to open the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension menu, but it's hijacked by element-web to open the channel member list.

I looked for a setting to disable keyboard shortcuts but can't find anything like that.

Steps to reproduce

• go to any website running element-web and log into the matrix service
• click on your own avatar on the top left
• in the menu that pops up, select "All settings"
• realise that there is no option to change or opt out of the keyboard shortcuts there, and despair

I expect there to be an option in element-web itself to at least disable the keyboard shortcuts.

Some people may argue that in Firefox, I could right-click the page, open "View Page Info", go to the "Permissions" tab, and block "Override Keyboard Shortcuts" there:

However, that "solution" is completely besides the point. There is simply no guarantee that any particular browser supports that kind of control. element-web should itself be a good citizen and present the option to opt out of keyboard shortcuts to the user.

Version information

• Platform: web (in-browser)
• Browser: Firefox 79 (but really, this is browser independent)
• OS: Ubuntu (but really, this is OS independent)
• URL: chat.mozilla.org
