hehe, this is the strangest feature request I ever received :)
There are various ways to implement it, the simple one is probably to patch the keyboard module like this:

       if self.grab_key_func and callable(self.grab_key_func):
          self.grab_key_func(key)

If you apply this patch you can block/unblock the keyboard using Shift+F12
Let me know if this solution can work for you
