From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Title. Basically, "if a street fighter gamer and a linux tryhard had a baby" where a combination of keys is issued to run a command/script rather than a single or a simultaneous stroke of two or more. i.e left, down, left, right arrow keys, R_CTRL to run Firefox. Right, right, Up, right arrow keys, delete to power off the PC, etc.

Don't know if such command exists, but there you go.

Bonus points if its a standalone and supports X11, Wayland and Arcan.

Key chords/submodes? Not a desktop app, but an Emacs extension, Hydra. There's also a Neovim version.

I don't know of a desktop app, personally I like to keep my desktop keybinds simple, so I wouldn't really need that.

There are two kinds of people:
