MBP keyboard auto boot

Hello,

Just got a 2020 MBP and I noticed there is an auto boot function that turns on the MB when you either lift the screen or press any key on the keyboard or click on the track pad. I was able to disable the "lift the lid" method but running a quick command in terminal (sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00) but I cannot find a way to disable to keyboard/trackpad auto boot feature. Someone please help - this is very annoying when trying to clean my keyboard and track pad and I have no issue finding the power button. Please Help - a huge thanks in advance.
