I want to bind the linux “KILL” command to CTRL + ALT + K.
How do I go about doing this?
Can you be a little more specific as to what you intend to do? Would this kill the current window? GNOME has a “force quit” panel applet, and I’m sure KDE has something similar.

Agreed… how will you give it the PID? If you want a way to kill a
window just run ‘xkill’ (Alt+F2 for the run dialog, then ‘xkill’).
Good luck.

yes, you need to be a little more specific…
are you asking for a way to kill a program running in a terminal
window…OR are you asking for a way to kill a running instance of a
program in an X window?
say what you want, and say what desktop environment you are running if
you are actually trying to kill an open window…like, if running
KDE and your (say) firefox is frozen just push Ctrl+Alt+Esc and the
mouse pointer will turn into a skull and crossbones…place that over
the window you wanna kill and left click…done! [this is the same
skull and crossbones you get with Alt+F2 and type in xkill, and it
should work in any desktop environment]
if you want to change the binding for Ctrl+Alt+Esc to Ctrl+Alt+K in
KDE, i guess that could be done, but why?
now, if you talking about killing a program in a terminal, AB is right
you gotta supply a target ID, see man kill…

To kill a program, you need the process ID. This is called the PID. The other way to kill a program is killall. But even that requires the name of the application. So this key binding would have to pop up a box where the user would either enter the PID or the application name. Unless you want to do as palladium said, and redefine ctrl-alt-esc to ctrl-alt-k. kill(1): terminate process - Linux man page
