Turning off debugging shortcuts

I am examining a package by debugging in RStudio and there are objects I would like to examine - so I type the name into the console. However if the name starts with one of s,f,c or q then a debugging action is carried out as these correspond to the shortcuts.

i.e. If I want to see the contents of object q I type q and the debugger ends as this is the shortcut for quit

Is it possible to turn off these shortcuts or perhaps reassign them to something like alt + q for example?

These shortcuts are hard-coded into R itself, so you can't change or reassign them in RStudio.

However, it's easy to work around the problem: just use get("s") instead of s. E.g.:

> s <- 12

Now entering the debugger and typing s steps out:

> browser()
Called from: top level 
Browse[1]> s
>

Using get("s") to see the value:

> browser()
Called from: top level 
Browse[1]> get("s")
[1] 12
