Possible to disable long-press to adjust Z offset?

We have three Prusa i3 MK3S printers in our office makerspace. They are used by dozens of people (7 dozen, apparently, now that I've checked the stats) with a wide range of 3D printing experience. On top of that, we just switched to the Prusa printers several months ago, so those who were used to our Creality CR-10S printers before are likely to be relearning some basic operational things.

So, we're running into a problem where people are inadvertently changing the Z offset by trying to raise the X axis immediately after a print completes. I'll note here that we are printing over USB via 3DPrinterOS. If a print is cancelled, there is a brief period of ~5 seconds during which time the "USB" indicator on the screen is still present, and a long-press of the control knob will go into adjust-Z-offset mode rather than adjusting the Z height.

In order to prevent these inadvertent Z offset changes, I'd like to disable the long-press to adjust the Z offset and instead have users click the knob during a print and selecting "Live adjust Z" from the next screen.

Is this possible? I couldn't find anything that would suggest that it is.
