Temporarily unbind a keysym in an extension.

[Marcel]

Ding it with on_key_press and forwarding it to tt_write seems to work. I 
had to extract the relevant attributes and do some calculation to find 
out what combinations of Control, Meta and Shift are active, but it 
looks like it got it.

Thanks again for the help.
