Any way to prevent keyboard input while drawing?

I'm a teacher that uses OneNote to make notes live, using a HP Active Pen and a HP Pro Notebook (touch screen)

Every now and then whilst drawing, the page jumps to the bottom, messing up my drawing with a big line. I've worked out it's probably due to accidentally hitting a key on the keyboard whilst leaning on the screen, inputting a text box at the bottom of the printed pages.

I've already enabled the setting to ignore touch input whilst using the pen.

I also cannot disable the setting "Automatically switch between inking, selecting, typing, and panning". It doesn't feel great to use as it disables the bottom side button which is set to 'Erase', and I can no longer easily erase mistakes. I do not want to have to keep switching to the eraser manually, and switching to using the mouse/panning manually.

Enabling filter keys also didn't help as it would still input the first keystroke immediately even when I set it to the maximum time to accept keystrokes!

All I want is to stop this jumping from happening!
