Actually, I implemented this a short time ago.
You have to use a gdb that is built against Readline 8.0.
See:

    Give a name to the TUI SingleKey keymap
    
    Readline 8.0 has a feature that lets an application name a keymap.
    This in turn makes it simpler for users to bind keys in keymaps in
    their .inputrc.
    
    This patch gives a name to the TUI SingleKey keymap, so that
    additional bindings can be made there.  For example:
    
        $if gdb
        set keymap SingleKey
        "X": "echo hello\\n\n"
        $endif
