Disable left/right keys to jump up/down

I use PyCharm with kids, who have limited text editing experience.

One thing I found really annoying (for them) is that if the cursor is at the beginning of a line and you (by mistake) press the left key, it moves up to the previous line. Similarly the right key at the end of the line moves down.

(They press this keys sometimes more than necessary.)

Is there a way to disable this feature? I would expect the left key to be ignored if you are at the beginning of the line, similarly ignore the right at the end of the line.

Thx!

You can configure some caret movement settings in **File | Settings | Editor | General** ,  but I don't think what you ask can be configured. After all, this is the default behavior of most text editors.

Thx Andrey for the quick response. Yes, I checked the mentioned settings but haven't find anything related.

Yes, this is the default indeed in many editors. (Although I just realized, I have never used this feature for code editing.)

It seems, I need to teach them to use home/end...
