OK, here's what I got.  It gets the key (even tab) and it sets the check boxes.  You're on your own setting the menu to the correct command.

Code Sample
-- test for mikshaw

-- make some test strings

st1 = "Mod1 Tab :NextWorkspace"
st2 = "mod1 Shift TAB :prevworkspace"
st3 = "NONE shift Control f12 :execCommand aterm -e poop"
st4 = 'none control SHIFT F12 :ExecCommand aterm -e su -c "blah -five"'


-- set up windows and buttons

w = Window{20,100,300,200;label = "Fluxbox Keys Test Window"}

b_none = Check_Button{20,20,60,20;label = "None"}
b_shift = Check_Button{20,50,60,20;label = "Shift"}
b_control = Check_Button{20,80,60,20;label = "Control"}
i_mod = Input{60,110,60,20;label = "Mod"}
i_key = Input{140,40,50,20;label = "Key"}
o_string = Output{40,170,250,20;label = "string"}

m_command = Choice{20,140,200,20}
m_command:add(Menu_Entry{":ExecCommand"})
m_command:add(Menu_Entry{":NextWorkspace"})
m_command:add(Menu_Entry{":PrevWorkspace"})

w:end_layout()

-- make the parsing function
function parseMyLine(mystring)
 o_string.value = mystring
 frontstring = strsub( mystring, strfind(mystring, "^[^\:]*"))
 backstring = strsub( mystring, strfind(mystring, ":.*"))

 if strfind( strlower(frontstring), "^%s*none") then b_none.value = 1 else b_none.value = 0 end
 if strfind( strlower(frontstring), "control") then b_control.value = 1 else b_control.value = 0 end
 if strfind( strlower(frontstring), "shift") then b_shift.value = 1 else b_shift.value = 0 end

 if strfind( strlower(frontstring), "mod%d") then
    tempModString = strsub( strlower(frontstring), strfind( strlower(frontstring), "mod%d*"))
    i_mod.value = strsub( tempModString, strfind( tempModString, "%d"))
 else
    i_mod.value = ""
 end

--strip out everything but the key
 frontstring = gsub(frontstring,"[nN][oO][Nn][Ee]","")
 frontstring = gsub(frontstring,"[Cc][Oo][Nn][Tt][Rr][Oo][Ll]","")
 frontstring = gsub(frontstring,"[Ss][Hh][Ii][Ff][Tt]","")
 frontstring = gsub(frontstring,"[Mm][Oo][Dd]%d*","")
 i_key.value = gsub(frontstring, "%s%s*","")

 list_command = strsub( strlower(backstring), strfind(strlower(backstring), ":[^%s]*"))
 list_commandargs = gsub(strlower(backstring), ":[^%s]*", "")

end

parseMyLine(st1)
parseMyLine(st2)
--parseMyLine(st3)
--parseMyLine(st4)

w:show()

I got it working the way i was hoping with just a couple of lines:
-- cut off the command:
the_keystring = gsub(display:text(display.value),"%s:.*","")
-- cut off everything but the last field of the string (emulates awk '{print $NF}'):
key.value = gsub(the_keystring,".*%s","")

My problem in getting this working before was that i was leaving the space at the end of the keystring, so trying to cut out a string of characters with a space at the end would result in cutting the whole string.

Now all I need to do is add the "save" function and it'll be ready for the first release.  I know i pretty much ignored your script entirely, but thanks for trying to help =o)

UPDATE: got a useable script going.  It will probably need some debugging, but it does what i need it to do so far.

mikshaw, that is one awsume flua example.  Absolutely fantastic.  I had no idea flua could look and act so much like a real application.

The only thing I saw so far was when you use the file dialog to open a file, but then hit cancel you get an error from gsub.

Very nice work.

Thanks...I think i fixed the cancel bug, although it's not thoroughly tested.

I don't understand why Flua is so underappreciated....it's really an amazingly simple way to build some pretty decent interfaces, while remaining tiny and open. It's really annoying to search for tools online only to find so many based on KDE, Gtk2, and Java....even the simplest tools like this keys editor. Why make a 10k application a hundred times larger (and depend on even more) just for a prettier set of widgets?
I'm hoping that eventually I can learn Lua well enough to not struggle so much with every project.  Also hoping that the Flua project is not dead =o(
