Very simple. I use a QKeySequence with multiple keys and that works very 
well. Use it to create a QShortcut, and connect the signal that shortcut 
provides to trigger whatever you want. I just create it from my main, 
but that depends on your application. See the QKeySequence docs under 
"GNU Emacs Style Key Sequences".
