Last time I checked, under an X environment the "scroll lock" key is 
disabled (you can toggle the light on/off if you go to a tty, though).

I dunno how to do this globally with any key (not just with the scroll 
lock one). I think the comma or period is written based on the keyboard 
layout map which uses different decimal mark separators, so I guess that 
switching between two of them (one that uses the period and other that 
uses the comma) you could get the same behaviour although having to swap 
the complete keyboard layout seems a bit overwhelming :-?
