Hello,

is there a way to define custom hotkeys (for example by using some kind of similar event to javascript's onkeydown) in pdf documents to, for example, start or stop an embedded multimedia file.

Thanks
Arno

Yes and No, Acrobat plug-ins can modify the keyboard shortcuts. Can't be done in JavaScript. Of course a plug-in only changes the shortcuts on the user's system where it is installed. There is no way to do this from a PDF document.
