I doubt if I can be of material assistance here.

I am dabbling with Javascript and browser events. Perhaps the most
comprehensive UI event management system.

There are plenty of keyboard events viz, keyup, keypress, keydown,
keyrelease and several more with mice as well.

As to X11 perhaps xbindkeys in ports will help.

This is just a clue stick. Perhaps you can pick up some cues?
