Subject: Accessibility Request

A good friend of mine (Ken Starks from the Helios Project) has come up
with a great idea that he and I think would be very useful to lots of
people in the Linux world. I was wondering if you could either:

A) Point me in the right direction to implement this.

or B) Point me to an existing project of this nature.

What Ken is looking for is: A simple macro system that would be system
wide, to map a hot key combination to a series of keystrokes. The idea
is to save time typing by mapping frequently used combinations to a
single hotkey. For example: Mapping ctrl+alt+a = "The Helios Project".

My thought was that this could be implemented in the keyboard driver
stack, and then do a simple substitution when a hot key is triggered.
Is this possible? Is there already an implementation of something like
this in the Linux world? Does this sound crazy? :)

Any help you could give would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thomas
