How to Disable Back & Recent apps keys when using certain apps.

[AC Question]

Whenever I'm on an App especially when gaming, I keep accidentally click on the hardware keys ("back" and "recent apps" keys) and I guess most of you would know how infuriating that is. I've tried a few apps like All in one Gestures but it doesn't quite fit the set up I'm looking for.

Is there a way to block the hardware keys only when I am using certain apps? I don't like to completely get rid of them and assign NIL Functions to the keys, I'd still like to be able to use the keys when doing other stuff like browsing.

Sorry, I had trouble posting with the title, I reposted with a proper title with proper info but it was tagged as duplicate. Anyways... I hope this silly title would still grab attention.

Full title supposed to be:

How to Disable Back & Recent Apps Keys when using certain apps.


Mainly asking this question for my Samsung Galaxy TAB A (marshmallow) where I do mostly gaming / watching. But I also have an S7 (Nougat) and hoping to do the same in my phone.

Mod note. Title edited and thread moved to the S7 forum, where it'll be easier getting feedback from other owners.

If it's a game, just use Game Tools. That's the little red bubble that pops up when you're playing games. It's supposed to be on by default. It gives you options to turn off the back and recents button when in games. It's not an app. It's built into the phone software.
