One can block VT switching by writing the following to xorg.conf:



Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontVTSwitch" "true"
EndSection


However, the X server needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.



I would like to block VT switching only when a screen locker (e.g., slock) is enabled. How can one temporarily disable and then re-enable the capability to switch VTs without restarting X?
