I now agree with Harald that this would be confusing. A dead key is
essentially a compose key for one character, and I think it shouldn't
call commands by itself. Pressing ^+space enters "^", so that key
sequence should call commands bound to "^", just like I have to press
^+a to execute a command bound to "รข".
