Hello, Borden --
The wikipedia page you cited notes that, in Konquorer, the <Ctrl> 
key "... must be released before the regular key is pressed."  Hence, 
this is NOT a traditional "key chord" at all!  I am not yet really 
using 4.x, and so some of my "navigation" may differ from yours.

In Konqueror, try choosing "Go" from the menu-bar, then "Settings" from 
the drop-down menu, then "Regional and Accessibility", and 
then "Accessibility".

In Konqueror 3.5.5, release 45 for openSUSE, this produces tabbed access 
to "Bell" (irrelevant to you!), "Modifier Keys" (check it 
out), "Keyboard Filters" (a possibility), and "Activation Gestures" 
(very likely to be useful).

Best of good fortune; I hope that this helps.
