⌥⌘M, ^⌥⌘M, ⌥⌘K, ^⌥⌘K

Applescript it:

do shell script "ls ~/Desktop"

Add what you want there, then you can run the Applescript via a global hot key application. I would recommend Spark

Paste this into Terminal (it's all one line, not two):

mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist ~/Desktop/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist

Press 'return'.
Log out and log in to your system.
Go to System Prefs and set up your hotkeys as you want.
