Disable Spatial Navigation

Question

I develop smart tv project on Opera TV. Can I disable spatial navigation in my project? Because I create method for control app by javascript and when I navigate app, my method in JS and spatial navigation work both. How can I do this?

If you rely on own key navigation, you shloud prevent default keydown action of browser.

window.addEventListener("keydown", function (e) {
  e.stopPropagation();
  e.preventDefault();
  //your navigation code (VK_LEFT, VK_RIGHT, VK_UP, VK_DOWN...)
}, useCapture);
