Have you tried putting in a rawKeyDown handler that doesn't pass the 
message? That should block all keystrokes, and won't affect any other 
apps. You probably will need to add a way to enable the keyboard again 
while you are working on the stack, otherwise you won't be able to type 
anything. Something like this:

on rawKeyDown pKey
   if the environment is "development" then pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown
