The normal way to do this is by calling the bind_action method, although I am
not sure it's particularly suitable for frequent redefines.

If you temporarily want to take over the keyboard, you can temporarily
->enable your own key_press and/or tt_write handlers, as e.g.
searchable-scrollback does, and this way override normal processing of
these events.

Other than that, I don't think there is a way.
