Disable Bound Key Events when input into toolbar apps

This is an old issue that’s still happening, and I still have not found a solution.

If you have custom toolbar app with a text input field, any characters you type that are also bound via controls are actioned. This is really annoying, as a lot of the default binds are to single alphanumeric keys, so typing in a simple input field leads to a terrible UX.

Is there any way to prevent this, as you would for regular web apps to stop event propagation? Can you turn off MSFS control bindings while a user is typing in an input field, for example?

Thanks.
