Thanks, but I am not able to understand how to apply any of your 
suggestions in a case like this. The problem is that the keyboard keys 
to change are all those that are outside a set of those defined to 
useful things (say a-z for simplicity). All other keys should be defined 
to do nothing. There are plenty of potential keys (65K). It does not 
seem to be possible to handle them all separately.

Can you please explain a little bit more in detail how you think this 
could be done? Could the actual available keyboard keys in a specific 
situation in some way be listed?
