You should use AddKeyboardShortcut() to catch and process a specific key behaviour.

I meant disable not add a shortcut. Like so delete won't work.

I meant something like that :

Code: Select all

Enumeration
  #Window_Main
  #Gadget_Editor
EndEnumeration

  WindowWidth = 640
  WindowHeight = 480
  If OpenWindow(#Window_Main, 0, 0, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_TitleBar | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered, "MyWindow")
      AddKeyboardShortcut(#Window_Main, #PB_Shortcut_Escape, #PB_Shortcut_Escape)
      AddKeyboardShortcut(#Window_Main, #PB_Shortcut_Delete, #PB_Shortcut_Delete)
      If CreateGadgetList(WindowID(#Window_Main))
          EditorGadget(#Gadget_Editor, 10, 10, 620, 460, "")
      EndIf
      Quit = #False
      Repeat
        Select WaitWindowEvent()
          Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
            Quit = #True
          Case #PB_Event_Menu
            Select EventMenuID()
              Case #PB_Shortcut_Escape
                Quit = #True
              Case #PB_Shortcut_Delete
                MessageRequester("Warning", "Delete key is not usable here")
            EndSelect
        EndSelect
      Until Quit
  EndIf
End

This disables Delete key ... but it will work easy only if you want to disable for all gadgets, otherwise it will not be easy to process events between shortcuts and selected gadgets.
