Can I stop space and enter from toggling my checkbutton? [Godot]

TL;DR Summary

I use space and enter as buttons for jump and shoot respectively. I have a checkbutton in my game for toggling the visibility of a display. It turns out space and enter also toggle my checkbutton.

Hi everyone

I use space and enter as buttons for jump and shoot respectively. I have a checkbutton in my game for toggling the visibility of a display. It turns out space and enter also toggle my checkbutton. I didn't code for space and enter to do this. I can't find anywhere on the inspector where keys are assigned to the checkbutton.

So far as I'm aware, no other keys toggle my checkbutton. I could change my keys for jump and shoot, but space and enter seem to be the best keys for this.

Is there anyway to stop space and enter from toggling my checkbutton?Thanks

Clunky fix, but you could use a keyboard re-mapper.

What language and UI framework are you using?

place your checkbox gui stuff on a separate screen from your game so that won't happen.

I'm assuming you're using javascript in a web app.

Here's the Godot Engine info on checkbox

Maybe by using a checkbutton and toggling it with code will solve this issue as you have to use a mouse to give it focus and then to press it.

What if you do code those input events to do something with your checkbutton? Either "don't do anything" or "undo toggling action" might do the trick.
