If I don't misundestand you, unsetting the keybindings in rc.xml
would have a global effect, i.e. I would loose the keybindings.
But I don't want to loose *any* binding :-)

What I am looking for is different: a way to _temporarily_ unset
the keybindings. This would allow for the keys to be passed to
the application that has keyboard focus.

For example, if scroll_lock is set, do not interpret the keystrokes.
If scroll_lock is not set, interpret the keystrokes as usual.
