I'm sure I would still hit it occasionally. The problem is that I often
don't notice until I've overwritten a bunch of characters, so I prefer
to put it beyond use.



To the original OP:
This is what I do in order to disable a key:
sudo /bin/loadkeys << 'EOF'
          keycode TheKeyCodeInQuestion = NoSymbol
EOF

If you do not know the KeyCode, run the program:
showkey

and press the key in question
and it's code will be displayed.
You must wait 10 seconds of idle
and showkey program will exit;
then run the sudo script above.

I already did the equivalent of all that using xmodmap and xev. See
earlier posts. Furthermore, the request was for a way to do it for all
input from the keyboard, not just a specific terminal session.

Thanks all the same.

I do not  believe you can do it for all input from the KB because
the KB is somewhat virtualized under , whereas keyboard of /dev/tty is still
under the control of the keymaps, which is modifiable via loadkeys.

I already posted another reply with .Xdefaults translations for X managed terminals.
