I use .inputrc for that.

see /usr/share/readline/inputrc

Some of my .inputrc file
# Esc then m
"\em":"/usr/bin/mutt\C-M"
# Esc then f
"\ef":"/usr/bin/mc\C-M"
#Esc then t
"\et":"/usr/bin/htop\C-M"
DEL: backspace
# Reset terminal on F1
"\033[[A": "reset\C-M"
# mutt on F11
"ESC[23~": "mutt\C-M"
# getmail on F12
"ESC[24~": "bin/domail\C-M"
