I turned on Unicode character entry using the numeric keypad in Windows 10 (according to the instructions here), but this requires me to hold down the Alt key while typing the hexadecimal code for the character I want, and if I press Alt+B, F, E as part of that, Firefox opens one of the menus on the top of the window rather than entering the character, while if I press Alt+D, it highlights the address bar and inserts the character there instead of the webpage where I was typing. So, to get this to work, I need to disable these shortcuts. However, most of the extensions for changing keyboard shortcuts that I found by searching this subjects are no longer available, and the one I found that still is, Shortkeys, doesn't seem to work: even after I enter the keyboard shortcuts, select "Do nothing (disable browser action)", and restart the browser, the shortcuts still work as before (in webpages, not just in the address bar as the extension promises). How can I turn off these shortcuts?
(A method of quickly typing Unicode characters using decimal rather than hexadecimal codes would also work, but I haven't found one: Alt+X seems to only work in Word, and I do most of my work using Google Docs over Firefox.)
