You want EVrouter:  http://www.bedroomlan.org/~alexios/coding_evrouter.html
I'm using it for my "internet/application" keys and it works great.  I
even have a usb numberpad tied to it so I have an extra 18 buttons to
launch thing/tie stuff to.  It would be real easy to tie your Switch
one desktop right to an exotic keypress like ctrl+shift+alt+right and
then tie that keypress to one of the codes at the top of your
keyboard.  I had evrouter set up in under 15min and have been adding
events to it since.  You can even have it use special settings for
different windows.  *shrug*

Hope it helps,
Matt
