But wouldn't this also disable the keypad keys?

In fact, no :). Rarely, I have access to a second one, though it wouldn't be a
problem if the keys were disabled.

Is there an "unbind" option? Then I could probably put in a few commands in
/etc/xdg/brltty, but I am not sure how to do this.

only those at the front of the display. The latest revision is not designed
ergonomically enough so that I press the keys regularly while typing.
