You can add or remove shortcut keys using the X resources form.translations. Here is an example of what would go in your .Xresources file:

     XBoard*form.translations: \
       Shift<Key>?: AboutGameProc() \n\
       <Key>y: AcceptProc() \n\
       <Key>n: DeclineProc() \n\
       <Key>i: NothingProc()

Binding a key to NothingProc makes it do nothing, thus removing it as a shortcut key. The XBoard commands that can be bound to keys are:

     AbortProc, AboutGameProc, AboutProc, AcceptProc, AdjournProc,
     AlwaysQueenProc, AnalysisModeProc, AnalyzeFileProc,
