How can i add hotkeys so that i can activate a application by typing for instance: ctrl-e (emelfm) ctrl-t (x-Terminal) etc....?

First , check your /home/dsl/.fluxbox/init file.
Make sure that a line near the end of the file called
session.keyfile:
points to .fluxbox/keys

Then edit your /home/dsl/.fluxbox/keys file to include
any combos you wish.

e.g.
Mod1 F12 :Workspace12
Mod1 e :ExecCommand emelfm

Thnx man, I worked when i changed the file: ~/.fluxbox/dev-keys (in stead of keys). Must be because i have 2 versions of fluxbox on my DSL (the original and 0.9.9)

correct - they are separate applications, so .fluxbox/keys is for fluxbox stable and .fluxbox/dev-keys is for the extension.
