Answer 1

Here I stopped the event bubbling for up/dn/left/right keys:

    $(document).on("keydown", function(e) {
        if(e.keyCode >= 37 && e.keyCode <= 40) {
            e.stopImmediatePropagation();
            return;
        }
    });

I also tried e.preventDefault or event.cancelBubble = true from the answers above, but they had no impact.
