I use blackbox as a window manager. There is a small programm called
bbkeys to attach actions to keyboard events.

bbkeys created the file below, which will give you an idea of what it
can do...

KeyToGrab(M), WithModifier(Mod1+Control), WithAction(MaximizeWindow)
KeyToGrab(Tab), WithModifier(Mod1), WithAction(NextWindow)
KeyToGrab(Right), WithModifier(Mod1), WithAction(NextWorkspace)
KeyToGrab(R), WithModifier(Mod1+Control+Shift), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(routelookup)
KeyToGrab(X), WithModifier(Mod1+Control+Shift), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(xterm -e zsh)
KeyToGrab(W), WithModifier(Control+Shift+Mod1), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(xterm -e w3m http://www.google.de)

Hope this helps
