 * I am developing a site using a child theme of twentyninteen. I have it working
   as it should but I’m trying to clean it up and make it better.
 * A script in the parent twentynineteen theme is causing problems when the site
   is viewed on ipad. I have tried to dequeue it but it still seems to be loading.
   The script is in wp-content/themes/twentynineteen/js and is touch-keyboard-navigation.
   js
 * Here is my child theme funtions.php:
 *     ```
       <?php
       //* Code goes here
   
       function enqueue_parent_styles() {
          wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
       }
   
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' );
   
       //Dequeue JavaScripts
       function project_dequeue_unnecessary_scripts() {
           wp_dequeue_script( 'touch-keyboard-navigation' );
       }
       add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'project_dequeue_unnecessary_scripts', 100 );
       ```
   
 * Any help getting this configured correctly to remove script will be much appreciated.
   Thanks!

 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentynineteen#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentynineteen#new-post)
   so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.
