Any Tiger apps to disable certain keys on an application specific basis?
#2
It's a little convoluted, but totally works...

Mac OS X supports the use of custom UNIX keyboard layout files.

Make a new keyboard layout that lacks the key using Ukelele (under 10.4 you can import the Mac's "US Extended" layout to start with), drop a copy of the layout and icon files in "~/Library/Keyboard Layouts," log out and in again and then select that keyboard layout in your International pref's.

*Note that Apple changed the file-format of Keyboard Layouts in 10.5 so that while custom keyboard layouts still work fine, Ukelele can no longer import the system keyboard layouts.
