imo, kpowersave is the best way to do those.

Depends what you're using.  In the first place, ACPI is (usually) used to
trigger events based on using specific keys.  I'm not sure how you'd make
other keys generate those events.  Then there's the problem that if you
want to do anything other than the default actions, you will have to
manually edit some files - depending on the method you use - because there
are no GUIs for this.

afaik, those are all actually defined by your laptop manufacturer
