Is there a way to temporarily disable a laptop's keyboard in order to clean/dust it off, other than having to turn off the computer?

Well, you could lock the screen win-L on windows or do something similar. You could probably also disable it from device manager. I'm sure there's something similar on linux, but that is heavily desktop environment dependent. |

You can get a can of compressed air which will clean the keyboard without actualy pressing the keys. |

Open up a text editor and let that take the hit - or use a natural bristle brush (no static build up) with long hairs so that there's little pressure on the keys/gaps. |

You can also just sleep you computer instead of turning it off. |

You could try KeyboardLocker to lock your keyboard , some key combinations will still work but its unlikely that you would press them , while cleaning. |
