How to disable default keybindings?

I read through the API doc (monaco.d.ts) but cannot find a way to disable predefined shortcuts shipped with Monaco. Am I missing something ? How can we disable a shortcut (for example ctrl/cmd + e) ?

If there's no interface for disabling shortcut currently, will it be supported in the near future ? Having no such interface makes the editor much less customizable.

Any news on that? I would like to disable ctrl+F keybinding and give it back to browser ;)

Not sure about how to give the functionality back to the browser, but I found that you can disable the ctrl+F binding by adding your own noop one, as follows:

editor.addCommand(monaco.KeyMod.CtrlCmd | monaco.KeyCode.KEY_F, function() {});

A workaround to unbind default keybindings using a private API:

editor._standaloneKeybindingService.addDynamicKeybinding("-editor.action.outdentLines");

Replace "editor.action.outdentLines" with the action you want to unbind. Unlike the @ledbit's solution, it doesn't prevent the event from bubbling up.

@vlad-shatskyi : Thanks 👍 editor._standaloneKeybindingService.addDynamicKeybinding("-actions.find") did the job

It doesn't seem to work with Ctrl/Cmd+L:

Object.keys(editor._actions).forEach(
    k => {
        editor._standaloneKeybindingService.addDynamicKeybinding(`-${k}`)
    }
)

After this magic some keybindings are gone (Cmd+F doesn't work, for example), but Cmd+L still expands selection to a next line.

@roblourens , did you ever found a solution for Cmd+L?

[jessermejia]

to unbind Cmd+L try this:

editor._standaloneKeybindingService.addDynamicKeybinding('-expandLineSelection');

i determined which command to unbind by seeing that this method returned true. for Cmd+L, the resolveResult found something here

fwiw, the default keybindings can (currently) be listed like this:

editor._standaloneKeybindingService._getResolver()._defaultKeybindings

expandLineSelection gets registered when pulling in coreCommands here.
