Just to clarify it a bit more to Dirk, each time a new client connects to an 
INDI server, it receives a list of properties that the device offer. You can 
have two clients connected to your device, the first one can be a generic GUI 
client (like Xephem or KStars) and the 2nd can be your custom GUI app. The 
custom app can ignore all properties it's not interested in, and only deal 
with those it is designed to handle and is aware about.

So in your example where you require F2 and F7 shortcuts to initiate CCD 
capture and flushing respectively, your custom app can handle this task 
specifically.
