hi Vicky; have you considered, insert+spacebar/l one press locks the keyboard, another press unlocks keyboard.
Lock Keyboard. Insert + Space, L This keystroke locks the keyboard and only allows informational keystrokes to b used. The screen may be navigated using the invisible or braille cursors, but application navigation may not occur.

Hi List, I just got a new USB keyboard After testing it out a bit, I noticed that it did not have a On Off switch. This is a problem for me, since I place my keyboard down beside my chair. When I pick it back up, sometimes, I press a key that does something I don’t want and this is very annoying! Is there a way I can use a keyboard command to toggle the keyboard from active to not and back again? Many and sincere Thanks!
