If you do not know the KeyCode, run the program:

You must wait 10 seconds of idle
and showkey program will exit;
then run the sudo script above.
This looks very useful to me .... but as usual I fall at the first
hurdle. When I type showkey or "showkey -k" I get:
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console
And that's it. Anything I can do about this? (Please note: I am
running Fedora 17 --- yes, I know --- and using a Mate desktop; Mate
1.6.1 .)
You need to run showkey in a proper virtual terminal, aka ctrl-alt-f3
or such. It was not designed to work under X.
HTH, :-)

Correct! I forgot about that. I thought the OP was talking
about the console, like /dev/tty...
