There is something like that in KDE. Just go to Control Center->Reginal and 
Accesibility->Input Actions. There is an example in the default KDE install, 
just select the Examples and look for "Type 'Hello'". And it does work in 
amsn too :D.

A good idea would be to create a "aMSN CVS repo" forr some distributions like 
Fedora and Debian. Then we could have an script generating debs and rpms 
every few day and giving the users the possiblity to try the CVS version 
without having to much about with the technicalities of cvs command line and 
compiling. This would allow us to skip the release candidate all together.

I'll try to fight my lasyness and do some work as I most likely have more time 
than you. There are some advantages to being in a high school :)
