I did some experimenting with that before writing my first mail. If it's
a hotkey that can be detected in processKbd() it's probably fairly
straightforward. But I don't think we can detect Ctrl, Alt, etc. there, so
we may want to do it from parseEvents() instead to avoid accidentally
conflicting with any hotkey the game itself may have.

I'm attaching the patch I made while experimenting, just to illustrate
what I mean. It uses Ctrl-I as hotkey, because at the time I imagined it
being used mainly for Indiana Jones.
