The problem is that they aren't format overrides, and they don't have character 
tag names.  One way to find them is to use FM's File > Utilities > Create and 
Apply Formats command, then look for manufactured character tag names, but 
that's pretty indirect.

One thing I'm considering is finding a Windows macro program that will capture 
keystrokes before they get to FM, then program it to swallow the shortcuts I 
don't want FM to see.  Does anybody have any experience with this kind of approach?
