Well, the thing is that this is supposed to be done in a controlled way. That means that the user is supposed to define the GLOBAL key(combination), or its something like CTRL+Shift+U (and thus not interfearing with normal use). Reason I want this is so I DO NOT have to have the application in focus, just running, and get it to react when _I_ want to. Say, pressing that CTRL+Shift+U and my application in Perl gives me some input window or something... and the Perl application have now focus...
