You can enable or disable the Windows key that is now available on many new computer keyboards. This key usually provides shortcut access to the Start button or other Windows functions. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/216893 — Adiii, Dec 06 '16 at 10:44

There's no such thing as disabling keys that I know of but what you can do is assign "nothing" (no function) to whichever keys you want to "disable" like this:

(Just paste this code at the very top of your javascript)

document.onkeydown=KeyPress;

function KeyPress(e){

e=e||window.event;

if (e.keyCode=='37'){} else // Left arrow do nothing

if (e.keyCode=='39'){} else // Right arrow do nothing

if (e.keyCode=='27'){} // Esc do nothing, and so forth.

}

What on Earth is "window key"? Are you talking about the operating system or a Window.open() or what? – SomeCoder Dec 09 '16 at 07:50

keyboard hooking is not possible with node js.you can create a low level keyboardhooking code in VC++ or c# and that run as a child process from nodewebkit
