Sure, you can achieve this very easily. For example, I have the following bindings in my ~/.tigrc:

 bind generic + !git commit --amend
 bind generic . !git commit

With tig-0.14, you can also put bindings in your ~/.gitconfig or the project specific .git/config file using:

 [tig "bind"]
    generic = C !git commit
    generic = w !firefox http://repo.or.cz/w/tig.git?h=%(commit)

The last one uses "browsing state variables". There is more information about those in tigrc(5)[1]
