question for programmers



I use a custom keyboard file and I'm now trying to improve it. One thing I'd
like to do is run two or more sequential commands on one key.
For example -- I have added some windows-type commands to the xy keyboard.
Control+x, deletes selected type, control+c copies it (to a xywrite file I
keep for the purpose), control+v pastes it. These are useful because they
allow me to run two separate copies of xywrite at the same time, and cut and
paste between them.
But it would be more useful if I could run two separate commands on the same
key combination. If, for example, Control+x could delete selected type and,
at the same time, copy it into my xywrite "clipboard" file (which I call
\a\tf). In the long run I would like to have 12 clipboard files, each one
tied to one of my F keys.
So -- is there any way I can run two sequential commands on the same key? As
far as I know, the XC command closes the sequence -- but it would be great
if I could keep going.

Anyone got any ideas?
