You question is ambiguous. We don't know if you whether you want to disable the touch keys being lit or wish to make them non-responsive. And presumably you are referring to the capacitive keys.
You can do the latter in the settings menu. And the latter with the Xposed framework Wanam module. Or by editing the keylayout files.

Hello all! I was wondering if its possible to modify the software to add controls to turn the touch sensitive buttons off and on? Maybe a widget? It seems I am always touching them and knocking myself out of apps. Maybe even remapping the sleep/power button to home instead of sleep and deactivating the buttons all together?
Hi,
I'd be interested in this also!!

Hi I coming from the nexus 5 and I love the on screen buttons. I love everything about the s5 but I not a fan of the buttons. I wanted to know if can turn them off or remap then so that they do nothing. Also maybe get home button to turn on and off the phone so that I don't have to use the power button on the side. Let me know if you have a way to do it. I prefer not to have to go and edit some XML file. If there is an app or setting I can use to do that for me that would be great.

Turn the backlights off in the display menu, install Gravity Box and set up the NavBar options etc, regarding re-mapping the home button, it's available on Custom ROMS but not sure if an Xposed module can/would work.

Thanks. Now I need to see if I can remap the buttons. I currently have infinity ROM which doesn't give the option for it.
Wanam Xpose should all need that options.
Does anyone know a way to disable the home button long-press shortcut to google now? That way the home button responds a lot quicker
anyone?

You can either use a custom rom that has the function to remap hardware keys built in or use an xposed module. I believe Wanam has it built in.
Does anyone know how to use Tasker to toggle onscreen NavBar? And... On a related question... Does anyone know how to have the capacitive keys and NavBar functional at the same time?
Many thanks!
Honest question. Why do so many people prefer to disable the hardware nav keys? Is there something I'm missing that makes the on screen keys better?
I don't know, but I would like to disable just the backlight of hardware buttons, without totally disabling them.

If you are rooted is a simple echo command to address somewhere
If you use Xposed gravity box have this option
