When you activate onscreen keys scanner button still works as a home key. It's quite annoying. How to turn it off completely?

I'd not noticed this before but it seems the RN3 left hand button is a recents button on press and a menu button on long press. This prevents the handy split screen feature from working in CM14 and above on this button. I can get this feature to work by adding a "Long press action" to the home button in settings however I would like it to work the same as my other Android devices.
Any thoughts on how this can be changed? I've had a mess in the keyboard layouts (where I also removed the long press on fingerprint to start the camera as it's annoying) but no luck with this.
Thanks.
EDIT: After changing the values again in Settings->Buttons this now seems to be working as it should. Odd.
So recently my friend's phone got his navigation hardware button broken.
The navigation hardware button likely random pressed home button itself. Is there anyway to fix it?
Disable hardware button is OK too, how to do it?
MIUI 8 rooted
Thanks before

I got this problem too with my 'Menu' and 'Home' buttons , untill today when they suddenly started to work perfectly normal after few months that they were totally broken ! Another Xiaomi magic trick...
To disable 'Home' button and get rid of those irritating autopress go to system/usr/keylayout/ and modify Generic.kl : add an # in front of key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
I haven't been able to figure out a way to remap the physical power button. There was an xposed module that worked great long ago, but hasn't been updated to work with oreo. I want to be able to press/long press/double tap/whatever the power key to take me to the home screen. I've used the fingerprint sensor apps, but they're hit or miss at different times, which is more frustrating than not having it. The other button mapper programs seem to work for volume keys only. Rooted/Running LOS ROM
Remapping the power button seems like such a bad idea to me. What happens if you need to reboot?

Why? What does your "home" button do? On my Nova launcher, home button takes me immediately to home screen and much easier/faster than trying to double tap fingerprint sensor, which currently turns off/on display.
Or long tapping, which currently gives you reboot options.
Remapping power button seems like an answer in search of a problem, which would cause more problems?

Home button takes me to home screen as well, which is usually where I want to go. If I'm holding the phone it's much easier to press a physical button to get back. I rarely reboot, so could do away with that. On my G3, I had all the buttons on the back mapped to pull up assistant, go back, go to home screen using single/double/short/long taps. It was MUCH faster to do that. Anyway, I like it, it existed before, I want to know if I can get it back.

So found a program called "powy". It can intercept the power button keypress and then trigger tasker. It can't distinguish long v. short press, but you can program power button to trigger by pressing 1x/2x/3x/etc. Not as good as xposed additions (which hasn't been updated since MM), but functional and better than nothing.
When the navigation bar is enabled, the physical home/fingerprint reader works as a home button. Normally this wouldn't be a problem except when you accidentally hit it or when you're trying to unlock an app with your fingerprint and it sends you home instead.
I don't understand why huawei wouldn't add a setting for this.
I know that using gestures instead of the navbar would disable that button from functioning as a home button but emui 9 gestures just feel half baked.
P.S. I do not have root.
Thanks!
It doesn't do that on my mate 10 pro. Navigation bar is, of course, enabled, screen gestures (apart from the frickin search thing, which just doesn't go away) and the little movable thingy are turned off. Pull-down gesture on FP sensor is usually enabled, but I just turned it off for a test -- still FP sensor doesn't work as home button.
@wurstwarenfachverkäuferin, it happens only on standard Mate 10, pro version is not involved. Unfortunately, I didn't find the way to disable this feature.
DP, please delete.
You could put app in the appassistant And turn on the mistouch prevention function.
Not sure if it's something I inadvertently broke, but when my UK XQ-BC52 61.1.A.2.211 (Android 12) is locked, I can't get into the Photo Pro app by holding the shutton button. It just opens up the lock screen asking me to unlock the phone.
Double pressing the power button does still work though.
My phone has an unlocked bootloader and is running Magisk.
Just another A12 bug?
Is it just Sony's confusing mess? Opening the camera with the power button is a system setting while the shutter button is an application setting in Photo Pro and Cinema Pro. Maybe the Photo Pro has no background permission and can't see the button presses.
Ah, just figured it out. Turns out it was caused by me removing the camera shortcut from the lockscreen with XPERI+. Resetting the Right shortcut got the shutter button working properly again.
