How to stop xaringan's keyboard shortcuts while searching in a DT::datatable()?

Question

xaringan's keyboard shortcuts interfere with DT::datatable() search functionality. It can even be seen in xaringan's example presentation (for instance, attempt to search for "m").

How can I stop this from happening? It is practically impossible to search for anything in a DT::datatable(). Thanks in advance!

I'm building a presentation with R and RMarkdown. Is there a better way? Apart from this problem, xaringan is working amazingly. — arcruz0, Oct 29 '17 at 19:49

You can disable the keyboard shortcut by using frameWidget in widgetframe R package. Below is a working example.

```{r}
library(widgetframe)
library(DT)
dt <-  datatable(iris)
frameWidget(dt)
```

this is a nice workaround, but then all the CSS gets lost. It would be nice if there was an actual way to disable xaringan's keyboard shortcuts – giocomai Oct 26 '18 at 08:20

Yes, I agree that it would be nice to have an easier way to disable keyboard shortcuts for some specified slides. This is a limitation more on `remark.js` rather than `xaringan` though. Perhaps upvote/comment [here](https://github.com/gnab/remark/issues/544) to get some attention from the developers there? – Emi Oct 29 '18 at 05:07
