Generally the purpose of a keylock is to prevent pocket dialing when the phone is NOT in use, not to prevent accidental button presses when it IS. So that would be the point of the key lock not locking the key you requested. I'm unaware of any key locks that lock the keys while you're actively using the phone, but I may be missing something.

That said, your idea DOES actually sound pretty interesting, and could be a useful new type of function in addition to what a lock is usually used for. I could see myself using it on occasion.

your right there was no lock app for wm5/6 that actually locks ALL buttons.
s2u2 was close, but didn't work properly on apache & mogul. A_C, actually added a feature to turn on the answer/end keys while locked. (meaning by default these should be disabled.)

its kindof confusing, that's why I'm continuing the convers, just want to make sure we're all on the same page.
