Not as a Linux guy, but as a developer, that has to be enabled and configured in the application. It has to have a listener hook into the keyboard events.

Now you could write a program that hooks into the keyboard and invokes another program on button press, but the program would have to have as an option that you could run it with a command line parameter to do the thing you want to do.

Oh, sorry I deleted the question because I noticed that I started too early and this wasn't the start of the help thread.

(My question was about creating hotkeys for a program running in background)
