Disable Navigation Keys \ Change Their Function

For example, I am able to prevent the back key from exiting the app using this function:

function onDeviceReady(){
    document.addEventListener("backbutton", onBackKeyDown, false);
}
function onBackKeyDown(){
    alert('back');
    return false;
}

How can I do the same for the over two navigation keys? I used a plugin to hide the whole navigation bar, but it comes back whenever the keyboard comes up.

Thanks in advance.

    You don't, from an app. You have no ability to control the behavior of HOME or RECENTS.
