Ok, disable with xmodmap is a reasonable approach for that key.
I think it would be a good idea to document that.
I'd suggest to add a single option, to configure alternative toggle
key(s), with just a few hard-coded variants which actually make sense.
Something like grab-toggle={two-shift,scroll-lock}. Not sure whenever
we need the other lock keys. scroll lock is probably the
least-frequently used key and therefore the best choice for the
purpose.
In case scroll-lock is selected we can automatically ignore it, without
ignore_scroll_lock=off option.
