WARNING: The following methods only work if you disable the toolbar in your 
electron app to this add the following code just after the code that creates 
the browser window before loading the html:
```js
//Considering "window" is your electron window object
window.setMenuBarVisibility(false)
```

Add the following either after the html closing tag in the webpage loaded by 
electron:
```html
<script>
    window.addEventListener("keydown", function (event) {
        //Control shift r                                                                                              
        if (event.ctrlKey && event.shiftKey && event.key === "R") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
        //Control r
        if (event.ctrlKey && event.key === "R") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
        //F5
        if (event.key === "F5") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
        //Shift F5
        if (event.shiftKey && event.key === "F5") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
        //Control F5
        if (event.ctrlKey && event.key === "F5") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
    });
</script>
```

If you also want to block dev tools add the following after the previous 
code or the closing html tag (in the webpage loaded by electron):
```html
<script>
    window.addEventListener("keydown", function (event) {
        //Control shift i                                                                                                  
        if (event.ctrlKey && event.shiftKey && event.key === "I") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
        //Control shift j
        if (event.ctrlKey && event.shiftKey && event.key === "J") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
        //Control shift c
        if (event.ctrlKey && event.shiftKey && event.key === "C") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
        //F12
        if (event.key === "F12") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
        //CMD option i
        if (event.metaKey && event.altKey && event.key === "I") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
        //CMD option j
        if (event.metaKey && event.altKey && event.key === "J") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
        //CMD option c
        if (event.metaKey && event.altKey && event.key === "C") {
            event.preventDefault()
        }
    });
</script>
```
