This one is easy, at least I think so. In Intrepid kde 4.2.2, you can go 
to System settings/Input Actions

create a new shortcut there and you are done.

Fwiw I just created another example called "Print Screen", that calls 
ksnapshot when <shift-PrtScr> is pressed.
Surely "example" is not the proper group to do it, but it was just for 
testing purposes.

After enabling it, it works like a charm.
