Why Disable Ctrl+U and Mouse Right-Click?

Before we delve into the steps to disable Ctrl+U and mouse right-click on Blogger, let's understand why it's important to take these measures:

1. Content Protection: Disabling Ctrl+U and mouse right-click helps protect your blog's content from being copied or modified by unauthorized individuals. It ensures that visitors can only access and view your content, discouraging plagiarism.
2. Source Code Security: Preventing access to the source code of your blog adds an extra layer of security. By disabling Ctrl+U, you prevent curious individuals from inspecting your HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code, safeguarding your website's structure and design.

Steps to Disable Ctrl+U and Mouse Right-Click on Blogger

Follow these steps to disable Ctrl+U and mouse right-click functionality on your Blogger blog:

Step 1: Access your Blogger Dashboard

To get started, log in to your Blogger account and navigate to the Blogger Dashboard.

Step 2: Select your Blog

From the Dashboard, select the blog for which you want to disable Ctrl+U and mouse right-click. If you have multiple blogs, ensure you choose the correct one.

Step 3: Go to "Theme" Settings

In the left sidebar, click on the "Theme" option to access the settings related to your blog's theme and appearance.

Step 4: Click on "Edit HTML"

Within the "Theme" settings, you'll find various customization options. Look for the "Edit HTML" button and click on it. This will open the HTML editor, allowing you to make changes to your blog's template code.

Step 5: Locate the Closing </head> Tag

In the HTML editor, scroll through the code until you find the closing </head> tag. This tag marks the end of the head section of your blog's HTML code.

Step 6: Add the JavaScript Code

Right before the closing </head> tag, insert the following JavaScript code:

1. Disable CTRL+U & CTRL+C and Mouse Right Click

{<script type='text/javascript'> var isCtrl = false; document.onkeyup=function(e) { if(e.which == 17) isCtrl=false; } document.onkeydown=function(e) { if(e.which == 17) isCtrl=true; if((e.which == 85) || (e.which == 67) && isCtrl == true) { // alert(‘Keyboard shortcuts are cool!’); return false; } } var isNS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape") ? 1 : 0; if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN||Event.MOUSEUP); function mischandler(){ return false; } function mousehandler(e){ var myevent = (isNS) ? e : event; var eventbutton = (isNS) ? myevent.which : myevent.button; if((eventbutton==2)||(eventbutton==3)) return false; } document.oncontextmenu = mischandler; document.onmousedown = mousehandler; document.onmouseup = mousehandler; </script>}

2. Disable only CTRL+U

{<script type='text/javascript'> var isCtrl = false; document.onkeyup=function(e) { if(e.which == 17) isCtrl=false; } document.onkeydown=function(e) { if(e.which == 17) isCtrl=false; if((e.which == 85) || (e.which == 67) && isCtrl == true) { // alert(‘Keyboard shortcuts are cool!’); return false; } } var isNS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape") ? 1 : 0; if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN||Event.MOUSEUP); function mischandler(){ return false; } </script>}

3. Disable CTRL+U & CTRL+C

{<script type='text/javascript'> var isCtrl = false; document.onkeyup=function(e) { if(e.which == 17) isCtrl=false; } document.onkeydown=function(e) { if(e.which == 17) isCtrl=true; if((e.which == 85) || (e.which == 67) && isCtrl == true) { // alert(‘Keyboard shortcuts are cool!’); return false; } } var isNS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape") ? 1 : 0; if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN||Event.MOUSEUP); function mischandler(){ return false; } </script>}

This code uses JavaScript to prevent the default browser behavior of Ctrl+U and mouse right-click.

Step 7: Save the Changes

After adding the JavaScript code, click on the "Save" button to apply the changes to your blog's template.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can effectively disable the Ctrl+U keyboard shortcut and mouse right-click on your Blogger blog. This ensures the protection of your content and the security of your blog's source code. Remember to periodically check your blog to ensure these functions are disabled and continue to provide a safe and unique user experience.
