Yes. Keybindings are done with GtkBindingSet. GTK 2 uses binding set
fairly extensively, so there are lots of examples in the source.

Draw with colors in widget->style, be sure any computations based on
widget->style are recalculated either on size_request/size_allocate or 
in a style_set handler, use the gtk_paint_ routines to draw rather
than gdk_draw_ whenever a gtk_paint_ routine is appropriate.

Again, many examples in GTK source.
