xbindkeys is a program that allows you to launch shell commands with
your keyboard or your mouse under X Window. It links commands to keys or
mouse buttons, using a configuration file. It's independent of the
window manager and can capture all keyboard keys (ex: Power, Wake...).

If nothing else, It's open source so your fee to modilficate it till it
works!

Good Luck - Jon
