Can an App detect a long physical button press?

Is it possible to disable the system "long press" of the left button in an App, so the App can detect it?

 

What constitutes a "long press" of the left button, in milliseconds ?

Untested: try listening for document.onkeypress and call preventDefault() on the event.

Thanks, the preventDefault() only disables exit unfortunately. It doesn't disable the long press of the left button.
