Disable "backspace" key across app in EmberJs

Is there a way in EmberJs to disable the backspace key, so it doesn't navigate back in the browser history?

Currently using EmberJs 2.0

I did find this possible answer:

But one trick to this, is that a backspace action should work for example in an input box, but not for navigating back in the window history.

Thank you

In my app, I just listen for the keydown and check to see if it is triggered on the body. 

$(window).on("keydown", function(evt){
    if (evt.keyCode===8 && evt.target.nodeName==="BODY") {
        evt.preventDefault();
    }
});

Other option is to check to make sure the target is not an input/content-editable.
