I'd like to set up a keystroke macro which eats the next few
keystrokes (probably up to the next space, to capture a "word") and
do something depending on those keys.

The idea is to be able to set up a prefix key, for example F12, so
that I can assign actions to <F12>whatever<space>. This would have a
number of benefits to me:

1. I only need a single "global" hot key.
2. The trigger words are never seen by the application, so there are
   no issues with stopping the application reacting (sometimes a
   problem with ;-prefix hot keys)
3. I have a huge range of possible triggers
4. The triggers can be mnemonic (<F12>excel<space> to start Excel).

Is this possible? Presumably it could be done with a suitable plugin,
if nothing else...

Paul.
