unless you press a keyboard shortcut that opens a dialog, LO won't
show any pop-ups or steal focus while typing.

Uncheck Format|AutoCorrect → [ ] while typing or disable all "while
typing" stuff in the AutoCorrect options.

If you want prevent (for example) <ctrl>+p to open the print dialog,
you should disable/remove all keyboard shortcuts, but this surely
isn't something that would be considered useful by other people. And
even touch typists might want to use <ctrl>+1 (or 2 or 3...) to apply
corresponding heading style.

Other than that - if it really comes to not using any word-processing
features at all, just type in your notepad equivalent and copy'n'paste
to LO after you're done typing.
