I did some pre-hunting;)

There's a file "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard" that gets read by 
"/etc/init.d/keytable" and sets the keytable.
This does need to be done in su/root status, though!

So make  a bash script (which you link to a key event or give a very short 
name that makes sense to you) that writes to /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and then 
initializes with "service keyboard restart".

Good luck,
HarM
