binding keys to shell commands in X11/quartz-wm?

I know there's apple employees lurking out there so feel free to chime in if this is a ``planned'' feature with something of a medium-to-high priority.

Is there (or will there be?) a way to bind keys to the commands you place under the ``Applications'' menu on the quartz window manager?

I'd like to be able to, for example, press F1 and have it run an xterm -bg black -fg white -sb [...], or press F12
and have it run xload, or emacs, or whatever I choose.


Forgive my ignorance, but is there a way to do this within X11 itself without relying on the window manager to support this function?

I know there's ways to do this in WindowMaker and a handful of other window managers - but if I could get away with it using the quartz window manager that'd be ideal.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
