So your problem is that Maya doesn't notice the hotkey being pressed while the mouse is down?
Maya doesn't appear to have a scriptJob or an MMessage for a key being pressed. If you're familiar with Qt, you could try using a Qt event handler. I'm sure you could detect the key being pressed, but there's no guarantee that you could get Maya to act on it. If you're not familiar with Qt, learning how to set up a handler is a fair bit of effort for something that may not work at all. Hopefully, someone else will have a better idea.
