How to disable long press cmd on magic keyboard

I use the cmd button frequently on my iPad Pro 12.9 running iOS 16.3. After a few seconds of holding the key I get a pop up for app specific shortcuts. I would like to disable the pop up from appearing, but cannot figure out where this is in the settings.

To my knowledge, the long-press of the CMD-key, intended to summon the Keyboard Shortcuts menu, cannot be suppressed from iPad settings.
