I think you are restricted to single characters. That key is used by reftex, so it would be a limitation in reftex. You can always define your own function with a key-binding for something specific.

OK, I see, and works fine, thanks.

One minor thing: Am I restricted to single-letter keystrokes
above ? like:

  I    ---- (...?I)
  F    ---- (... ?F)
  C-t  ---- (... ?\C-t)

I tried to get working something like

 C-r C-t

with something like this

  (... ?(kbd "C-r C-t"))

with no success, but I am unsure, if there is just something simple
missing like a quote or a backslash, or if it's just not possible
at this point.
