    On my keyboard there are some buttons in the top right corner above
the number pad. one marked with  circle with an x over it, one with a
moon the third with analarm clock ringing.
    Wondering what they were and how they were handled I typed
'Control v' in bash on the command line then the button with the Xed
out circle. Much to my chagrin my computer shutdown while I had files
open for editing. OOPs.
    I think I now know what those buttons do but am wondering if there
is a way to disable them short of dismantling the keyboard.

    mike@DevuanPI4b:~> uname -a
    Linux MikesDevuanPI 6.1.70 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jan  7 04:13:59 CET 2024
        aarch64 GNU/Linux

I'm now on a Raspberry PI running Devuan but also run Debian on a
different PI and MS Windows 2000 on a Pentium based tower.

Bumping one of those buttons and inadvertently killing the system
while in the midst of a task is something I'd like to avoid,

Be well and Thanks for any suggestions,
Mike
