Default Anyway to disable "e" button?

After ending my turn by accident twice in the last 4 turns, I was wondering if there was any way to either:
1. Disable the 'e' key, since I can at least hide the right-hand menu from accidental hits
OR
2. Add a "are you sure?" prompt to the end turn command

unfortunately, that prevents most of the other useful keyboard shortcuts from working (e.g. 'r' recruit, 't' army, even the map filters '1', '2', etc.).

How are you accidentally htting 'e' anyway? My fingers never go near it except maybe when I have orders set to '3' and,.. well,.. I can hit numbers without hitting letters?

Precision = 1?

Seriously, I'm just clumsy. I've hit it reaching for "3" and "r".

I would love it if the "e" was changed to "ctrl+shift+e" or something. Dunno how many times I've hit "e" when trying hit "r", but it hurts each time

Yeah I've done that a bunch too. "r"ecruit, "R"esearch, and province "d"efense are right nearby, and I use those very frequently. Fortunately I only do PBEM games for the most part, so it isn't a big issue.

It would be nice if we could change the hotkey, disable it, or even if it was something more difficult to accidentally hit.

I bet you can get some program which intercepts key presses or something. Some techie must know how to do it!

It doesn't stop the map filters for me. And I can get all the lowercase hotkeys by just holding shift.

If that's true, you can probably hit "Shift-e" too, then.
