So use command-line arguments, or write a separate script for each
key. They're cheap. :-)

...but what context is this happening in? X keymaps and Linux console
keymaps are completely separate; I admit to not being really familiar
with the latter, but under X, this is usually handled by your window
manager, and it's pretty straightforward to cause an arbitrary command
to be run when a particular key is pressed.
