xbindkeys for Mac?

Is there a program like xbindkeys for mac? All I want is to be able to run specific commands when a keyboard shortcut is pressed. No GUI please. I should be able to store the keymap in some file and move it around.

Answer

Another option might be quicksilver’s triggers:

It’s triggers are flexible and global, and can execute commands. Similar to the QuickKeys suggestions, the triggers are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Triggers.plist if you want to move them around. Quicksilver might be too much program to install just for shortcuts, but you can turn off most of it’s features like indexing that you don’t want.
