Yes, it is quite possible, use the same format and replace the desired key. for
instance, i had a machine that rebooted on ctrl+alt+del (shutdown -r now) and
shutdown on ctrl+alt+h (shutdown -h now) iirc, on that machine i had to switch
to a tty first but might be a setting error on my part

.xsession is the best place to deal with this, but you need to start

Simply delete or rename your current xorg.conf file,
