If you are using X, you should check out the keycomp(1) command.
I think it should do the trick.

You could go for a hardware approach:

I pull  of the  caps  key  and  enter  key  (greater  source  of
annoyance  to me), and place a rubber band  around the  keyboard
post.  This stops me bumping  the thing, but still  allows me to
punch on it if I ever need it.  This technique  works for any HP
keyboard!

Or...  Within HP, every second Unix  terminal/workstation I have
seen has the enter key ripped off with tape over the key post.
