I'm a female and keep hitting shft/up on the keyboard of my Dell Inspiron
laptop because of my nails. It clears the last line of text and sometimes I
don't realise. Is there any way I can disable it? I never use the cursor
keys

How about clipping your nails to a reasonable length?
Quite a lot of females use computers at my university and they do have
longer nails than males.

However they're not that long, so they interfere with typing.

But if you refuse to clip them (and that's what I presume), you can
disable them fairly easy in Linux.

I don't know about Windows, though.
