depends on what you mean by implement.

Gtk accelerators are by definition combinations of a single non-modifier
keyval with 0 or more modifiers. You therefore cannot use Gtk
accelerators for this purpose.

You can write your own key handling code, probably using either the
key_press and key_release events on a top level window, or a keysnooper.
This code is free to do anything it wants.
