Yes, all is very configurable.  The following are some of my
favorites:

    <Key>F1        root|icon|window        f.goto_workspace ws0
    <Key>F2        root|icon|window        f.goto_workspace ws1
    <Key>F3        root|icon|window        f.goto_workspace ws2
    <Key>F4        root|icon|window        f.goto_workspace ws3
    <Key>F5        root|icon|window        f.goto_workspace ws4
    <Key>F6        root|icon|window        f.goto_workspace ws5

    <Key>F8        window                  f.minimize
    <Key>F8        icon                    f.normalize
    <Key>F9        root|icon|window        f.action LockDisplay
    Shift<Key>F3   root|icon|window        f.action NewNetscape
    Shift<Key>F4   root|icon|window        f.action TextEditor
    Shift<Key>F5   root|icon|window        f.action RunXrsh
    Shift<Key>F6   root|icon|window        f.action Xterm
    Shift<Key>F7   root|icon|window        f.action RunXcalc
    Shift <Key>F9  root|icon|window        f.action ExitSession

I copied dtwmrc from whatever the standard directory to
~/.dt/C or ~/.dt...  I've got multiple copies -- never quite sure which
one has precedence.  Then, I put these entries in the 
"Keys DtKeyBindings" section.  Note that some of the f.action lines
refer to actions I've defined elsewhere.
