Sort of like preventing websites from disabling your ability to right click. Some websites hijack the up and down arrows on the keyboard and give them a different function than what they normally do (scroll the page).

If there's a way to disable this, please let me know.

Can you give an example of such page (would be easier to test)?

There are various anti-disablers available as Greasemonkey userscripts, like this, so probably it would be easy to create similar one, presumably by adding something like doc.onkeypress = null; or more elaborate, depending on your needs.

Google after you search for something. I don't notice it on a desktop because of my scroll ball, but it's REALLY annoying when I'm on a laptop – James Watt Jan 12 at 15:10
I should specify, I wasn't telling you to Google something, I was saying that Google is a website that does this. – James Watt Mar 2 at 20:04
