I'm not currently at a machine where I can check this, but assuming they
generate the correct keypress events you should be able to set up global
shortcuts in systemsettings to do this. (Under 'Keyboard and Mouse'>'Global
Keyboard Shortcuts', IIRC)
Or possibly you've already tried that and there are no power management
functions there after all...
