I've searched all over previous posts (found a lot of folk who wonder where arrow functionality went!), but I'm wanting to disable arrow keys and force the user to use the mouse and return key only.

Thanks for your time!

Not advised, but see: Disabling Arrow Keys.

Note that you'll want to use some type of event to make sure that the functionality is turned back on before exiting or else you'll have some pretty upset users.
