Creating a 'Keyboard Manager' Program Using Command Line
-------

-------
A few years ago I purchased a very useful program known as Keyboard Manager for my Windows XP computer. It enables the user to assign various functions to multiple keyboard key combinations in order to activate applications or to reproduce a text string or even a body of text automatically.
A key combination consists of one or more keys, not already used by the operating system. Examples are "Alt + Q" and "Shift + Ctrl + K". When the user presses a key combination, the program activates the corresponding, user-assigned function. One example is to cause the computer to produce a useful text string, such as a password or a wireless-network key, or even a line of HTML code.
I would like to find out if and how I can do something similar using the Linux Command Line Interpreter (CLI). For simplicity, I prefer to use CLI instead of BASIC or C or some other programming language if possible. Any advice or help would be much appreciated.
