what kind of capturing? Like for hot-keys? Or do you want to observe all 
keystrokes?

For hotkeys there's all kinds of applications available bbkeys, for example. 
keynav can also do it.

For observing the keyboard, there is xspy: 
www.eigenheimstrasse.de/~ben/keyspeedapplet/xspy.c

Were you looking for a library to help you capture hotkeys?

i want to capture all kind of keystrokes.. even if my script is running in 
background and other windows are focused, i want to know which keys are being 
pressed.
