The answer will likely depend on which desktop or window manager you
use. I have the following in my openbox rc.xml:

    <keybind key="W-r">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>emacsclient -c -e "(org-capture)"</execute>
      </action>
    </keybind>

Gnome and KDE will likely have a GUI for adding custom keyboard
shortcuts.

Best,
