You can trap these keys in your own event loop and use KeySetMask around
things like alerts to at least inhibit the key actions. If all you are
trying to do is inhibit these keys, just use KeySetMask

The gist is that you have to remove those certain OS functions (like alert
windows), from your code completely, or from the part that you're trying to
control. That's the only way I've found around it. I think it boils down
to trading ease of use (i.e., programming use) for control.
