You can protect the sheet and allow users to only select unlocked
cells. Of course, all the cells will need to be locked to prevent user
selecting anything.

You can disable/enable keyboard shortcuts via VBA in sheet event
handlers so they toggle off/on as the target sheet is
activated/deactivated. I accomplish this in my dictator apps by storing
the shortcuts in a string constant that I load into an array and
iterating it as needed. Please provide a list of the shortcuts you want
to disable/enable and I'll see what I can do toward providing a
reusable function for this.
