You can provide a monitor command to do that

something in the lines of:
- add_macro <key> <command_list>
- remove_macro <key>
- list_macros

then you could keep the assigned keys in a list, and convert the
command list to a list of functions and arguments.
For compatibility, the current assigned keystrokes would be then
converted to default macros, that could be removed,
if requested

It would be nice if you could find a way to update it on all displays,
not only SDL, at once.

this requires a little bit more work than what you did, but at least
from my point of view,
would be a nice feature, and overcome the limitations that people mentioned.
