Disable side volume key Chromebook Spin 713

We use the Chromebook to display music on a music stand so it's 90°on edge, portrait/tablet mode. Perfect for accidentally getting the computer to read the screen. This happened at rehearsal. In a concert it would be a disaster. One blog advocated cutting off the key. My temporary solution is cork bumpers raising the volume key side so the keys don't touch. We obviously use the Chromebook in tablet/portrait which disables the keyboard. Not so for the volume key which in this mode is on the bottom.

IIRC you can just rotate it in tablet mode so the volume keys are at the top... The screen display should rotate it's orientation to match any time you are in tablet mode.

When the screen is folded back there is a gap between the body and the screen and you should have no trouble finding a plastic moulding ( "T" or angle section? ) that will be held in place by the "gap" ( the vertical section) and holes cut in the horizontal section to prevent the buttons coming into contact with the music stand. The same effect as your cork bumpers but easily installed/removed.0

Thanks for the suggestion but the cork is in and functioning. I hope Acer sees this post and modifies future units. Any side keys should be recessed since a tablet computer/laptop can be in any of 4 orientations.
