Good point, I didn't think of using tab, focus is definitely the way to go.
However the unbinding of the keys is still a problem. I have the keys
assigned to the document, so they can be used everywhere. Like so:
$(document).keypress(function (e) {
if(e.which == "120" || e.which == "100") {
// do something
}
});
But when I focus (in this case) on an input field, textarea whatever,
I want it disabled because it will perform the action if the person
types in the specific key that is bound.

This logic should work perfectly, but now for the part in between the
functions to unbind :)
Thanks in advance.
