@Mark Murphy,
I think by right soft key, he meant the BACK button.
You can disable the BACK button, but I too think that you can't do the
same for the HOME button.
With the code you have posted, you disable default key handling for
all buttons, except HOME (not possible, AFAIK) and BACK (because you
use the default behavior, by calling super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event))
Android has received some criticism about its platform consistency and
lack of Google-recommended interface guidelines (in the spirit of
Apple's HIG). Whether that's justified is another topic, but keep in
mind that it's not advisable to change the default behavior of system-
used buttons for something more than sample/tutorial applications.
