Broadcaster IDs are very similar to the Command IDs that we just edited. In Firebird, these IDs invoke the sidebar panels for Bookmarks, Downloads and History. These sidebar panels appear in the web page window with the related content. In our case, we've already hidden the bookmarks toolbar from the "View - Toolbars" menu option. However, you can still bring up the Bookmarks sidebar using CTRL+B. By commenting out these ids, we can disable access to the sidebar panels. We simply comment out the entire section to keep these panels from appearing.
Our next set of changes is to the keyset ids. These ids control the functions that take place when different keyboard combinations are used. Each of the ids normally identifies that function that is called along with the key used and any modifiers like CTRL, ALT or SHIFT that is used in combination with the key. In our case, by commenting out the command id, we've already blocked the keyboard combinations that we needed disabled. In other situations, you may find that you want to allow access to a menu item but not allow the functionality to be invoked from the keyboard. In that case, you can selectively block the keyboard shortcut by commenting out the appropriate keyset id.
