I agree that this is not necessarily a good idea, but there are a
few ways to map keys to <Nop> "in bulk."
let letter = "a"
while letter <= "z"
execute "map" letter "<Nop>"
let letter = nr2char(char2nr(letter) + 1)
endwhile
" Vim 7.0 only
for char in split("@!&#$%", '.\zs')
execute "map" char "<Nop>"
endfor
" Vim 7.0 only
for word in ['<C-W>', '<C-X>', '<C-A>']
execute "map" word "<Nop>"
endfor
A better solution might be to stay out of Normal mode.
:set insertmode
:help 'insertmode'
:help evim-keys
