Is it possible to disable Ctrl+A?

I’m wondering if it’s possible to disable the Ctrl+A shortcut.

I’ve had issues when duplicating a lot of assets (e.g. trees and stairwells) and accidentally hit Ctrl+A. This leads to many problems from accidentally deleting your entire game or duplicating your entire game. With larger projects this usually will crash Roblox studio but for smaller games or simple games, duplicating the entire project sometimes goes unnoticed leading to double lag and the whole map having that weird glitchy surface effect when two parts are lodged on the exact same coordinate as well as many other problems.

I’ve searched through other articles but have only been able to find ways to disable Ctrl hotkeys entirely, this will not do as I still want such useful shortcuts as Ctrl+ A, D, Z, P, Etc, in other words I want to disable solely Ctrl+A and nothing else.

All responses are appreciated, thanks.

File → Advanced → Customise Shortcuts → Find Select All (you can use search actions if you don’t want to scroll to find it; description is select the entire document) → Double click the box in the shortcut column → Right click the highlighted box → Clear Shortcut

Thanks! This helps a ton. I’m on my phone right now but I’ll be sure to apply these settings to my main computer.
