I suppose it'd be possible to do this with a clever javascript skin though
that may be tricky.
There is an interim solution, however (while you're waiting for someone to
take on that project):
What you could do (if you have just one specific player that you want to
execute those commands on), is use Girder which could easily be set up to
take advantage of Slimserver's CLI so as to get the exact functionality
you're requesting. If you do this with Girder then you'll need to be
careful--either construct the macros so that they do a check and only
execute if slimserver or some other designated app is in the foreground, or
remember that if you use the shortcuts while in another program that you may
run into deleterious effects as, say, your playback stops (CTRL + S) but you
also save over the top of that spreadsheet you were working on. You get the
picture...
