You are looking for

B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, SpaceLeft and SpaceRight

If this is the only HandyTech Braille Star model that you are using,
the easiest way is probably to comment out the following
lines from /etc/brltty/Input/ht/bs.kti:

bind SpaceLeft+RoutingKey PRINDENT
bind SpaceRight+RoutingKey NXINDENT

bind SpaceLeft FWINLT
bind SpaceRight FWINRT
bind SpaceLeft+SpaceRight PASTE

bind B1+SpaceLeft LNBEG
bind B1+SpaceRight LNEND
bind B2+SpaceLeft TOP
bind B2+SpaceRight BOT
bind B3+SpaceLeft HWINLT
bind B3+SpaceRight HWINRT
bind B6+SpaceLeft CHRLT
bind B6+SpaceRight CHRRT
bind B2+B3+SpaceLeft MUTE
bind B2+B3+SpaceRight SAY_LINE

include dots.kti

However, as you perhaps noticed, there are a number of useful
combinations amongst those bindings.  I am not sure if you just want to
disable the single key combinations related to braille keys, or really
all of them.  If you just want the single combination keys, you probably
want
to look through dots.kti and comment out those that you don't like.
