2-key sequence translation

I am a dedicated/committed user of the Wordstar control keys sequences. They
have been built-into my brain for 20 years. I have redefined the control key
to be just to the left of the 'A' key on my keyboard so that seqences like
Ctrl+Q_Ctrl+S and Ctrl+Q_Ctrl_D are easy to do.

Is there a program that hooks keys and translates them which will enable me
to use my familiar 2-key sequences with an editor that only allows one key
for an editing function?

Something like AutoIt with key input detection would be great.

Thanks for your help.

AutoIt3, nearly out of beta, has HotKey assignments. You can set all
your favorite CTRL+(letter) assignments to do whatever you want...

example: (script sends clipboard contents when CTRL+A)

; script start
HotKeySet("^a","CtrlAFunc")

While 1
Sleep(100)
Wend

Func CtrlAFunc()
Send(ClipGet())
EndFunc
; script end
