Bug Description

This is a feature request and proposed source code
I wanted to be able to use shortcut keys to change the brightness of my screen and keyboard. Instead of hardcoding this, I added a new configuration group to the configuration file that allows mapping X11 keys to shell commands as follows.
key are handled when the cursor is in the user or password field.

[shortcutkeys]
MonBrightnessDown=/usr/bin/xbacklight;-10
MonBrightnessUp=/usr/bin/xbacklight;+10
KbdBrightnessDown=/usr/local/bin/kbd-backlight;-
KbdBrightnessUp=/usr/local/bin/kbd-backlight;+
