 If we have a:
 - key-a for normal key 'a'
 - global-key-a for global key 'a'
 If think it will work as before.

The problem I see now, is the number of config entry needed, something like:
 numbers_of_keys * 2 ^ number_of_modifiers

It will be a lot: 96 * 2^5 = 3072 (*2 for global, and plus 5 * 2^5 four complete mouse events)
