For some reason, I never considered that option. While it makes
sense (in hindsight), it certainly doesn't sound like the most
direct approach to solving this problem (well, it's not really a
problem, but you get the idea).
In addition, I prefer my approach here because it's a single,
known toggle that doesn't involve messing with other parts of the
system. I might just want to disable keyboard rebooting
temporarily. This seems like the most intuitive way to do so.
