Maybe get a spare keyboard, extend the keyboard cable (perhaps by
making an extension cable) so that you can have a detached keyboard?

Sure. I have a IIe in a tower case so I needed a keyboard. I had an
aftermarket detached keyboard but was irked by the lack of a locking
caps lock key and the short cable that plugged directly into the
keyboard connector. So for inside the tower case I made a 26 pin to
female db25 cable. I rewired a IIgs keyboard and it has a 6 foot
cable ending with a male db25 connector.
