I think what he meant was, how to have ctrl-shift-power reboot, while
enabling a second key combo (ctrl-shift-option-power) that halts.

The option I use is:

   halt () { sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now ; }
   reboot () { sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now ; }

in my bashrc, which is not an answer to the question, but it does get
the job done. 

And I would still like to know how to define other magic key combos like
ctrlaltdel.
