lynx does this by key-definitions.  They are named with LYK_ prefix, and
(usually) in a table in src/LYKeymap.c - though that can be overridden
or modified by KEYMAP commands in lynx.cfg - and executed in LYMainLoop.c
which has a switch statement for all of the known LYK_xxx definitions.
To see how it's done, I would grep on one of the LYK_xxx definitions to
find the handful of places it's used, and modify the code accordingly.
