as you can see, I have all of my keyboard shortcuts disabled for gdevelop. however, this still doesn’t prevent Ctrl+w from closing the game. how do I stop Ctrl+w from closing my game
Are you using the application, or the online editor? If it’s the online, it could well be the browser that’s acting on the ctrl+w.

after reading your reply, I tested it and it is the browser. question is, how do I stop the browser from doing this
I found where it is in settings (I’m on chomebook) but my school blocked changing these settings for whatever reason. is there anything I can do about this or do I have to live with it
It looks like disabling the editor shortcuts won’t block default browser or OS shortcuts inside the preview window. Ctrl+W is treated as a system command to close the tab or window, so GDevelop can’t override it just by changing the shortcut settings. If you want to avoid this during testing, you can try running the preview in a separate window using the desktop app, or export the game and test it outside the browser. In the actual built game, Ctrl+W won’t do anything unless you manually code it. Not ideal, but the editor can’t intercept system-level shortcuts.
