2019 MacBook Pro keyboard cleaning

How do I lock the keys on a 2019 MacBook Pro computer so I can clean the keys? Simply shutting down the computer doesn't work. When I push any key, the computer boots back on.

If you use "canned air" DO NOT invert the can of Air -- unbelievably cold bad stuff will spray out and damage your Mac.
