Turn off spacebar AI shortcut in SmartDoc field

Please give us a way to turn off the spacebar shortcut for AI in SmartDoc fields. The Document Designer does not recognize bulleted/numbered formatted SmartDoc lists, so in order to generate PDFs with numbered lists I have to manually enter list numbers in the Smartdoc field. Easy enough, except using the spacebar to indent items and defeat auto-numbering opens the AI menu. I spend way too much time entering a dummy character at the beginning of a line, entering the spaces and numbering I want, and deleting the dummy character to get the Document Designer output I need.
The / menu is perfectly fine for the rare times I want to use AI and I would not miss the spacebar shortcut at all.

Hello AI Jon,
- I never use the spacebar shortcut to open the AI prompt.
- Nope, just the spacebar shortcut. That is sacred ground in all the other applications I use: Play/stop in Davinci Resolve and ProTools, select in AutoCAD and Sketchup, adding spaces between characters in everything else. AI hasn't earned this exalted status.
- SmartDoc features and shortcuts are otherwise welcomed, although I wish pasting in bulleted text retained its formatting.
- All your base are belong to us!
--- Happy Holidays :)

Hey Mike Jungers, thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions for you:
- How frequently do you use the spacebar shortcut for AI in your workflow?
- Would you prefer an option to customize or disable keyboard shortcuts in general?
- Are there any other shortcuts or features in SmartDoc that you find disruptive or unnecessary?
