Can you?  As far as I know, the closest you can come is
output-device=screen input-device=keyboard, in which case it
auto-shifts to ttya if the keyboard does not respond.

If there's an input-device value for "input device is keyboard, dammit,
even if it doesn't respond right now", I'd love to hear about it.
