To the original OP:
This is what I do in order to disable a key:
sudo /bin/loadkeys << 'EOF'
keycode TheKeyCodeInQuestion = NoSymbol
EOF
If you do not know the KeyCode, run the program:
showkey
and press the key in question
and it's code will be displayed.
You must wait 10 seconds of idle
and showkey program will exit;
then run the sudo script above.
I already did the equivalent of all that using xmodmap and xev. See
earlier posts. Furthermore, the request was for a way to do it for all
input from the keyboard, not just a specific terminal session.
Thanks all the same.
