On page 14-11 of the SQL*Forms Designer's Reference, Key-Others is defined as:

A Key-Others trigger is associated with all keys that CAN have key triggers associated with them but ARE NOT currently defined by function key triggers (AT ANY LEVEL). That is, a Key-Others trigger is a catch for all remaining keys that do not have triggers (RATHER THAN A TRIGGER TO OVERRIDE ALL KEYS AT ITS SCOPE). As you have key triggers specificaly defined at the block or form level, the scope rules have them defined at the field level as well. Since Key-Others will not override these keys, you must specificllay define key triggers at the field level to override thier operation. A simple "null", or "noop" for each of the offending keys with work.
