I think you should edit the file KeyEventTranslations.tr located
somewhere in ...mathematica/.. /FrontEnd. To add the translation for
"[" to come up with AltGr+F enter the following:
Item[KeyEvent["F",Modifiers->{Option}],
FrontEndExecute[{
FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[
FrontEnd`SelectNotebook[],"[",After]}]]
Do this for all Keys you need.
I'm using Linux too, and I have to start Mathematica with the option
"-pureKeys" to make this work properly.
Hope this helps
