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.

Man I already can’t get my inputs right in games, If I ever whiff a fucking combo to start my browser I’m ending it all.
You need to get out of the parking garage from Driver to boot your PC from now on.
↑↑↓↓←→←→ + a + b + Enter =
sudo rm -rf /* --no-preserve-rootAnd you can do it with a controller too!
You mean a key combination like OS, f,i,r,e,f,down,down,enter to launch Firefox?
That exists, bud. There are even multiple ways to achieve the same command, like “OS,t,e,r,m,i,n,a,l,down,enter, ‘open Firefox’”
in my de its just os > firefox > enter
Hahaha, thank you. In windows that would be even more efficient, since a few letters will be enough to identify something unique. Win, f, i, enter
The same is true in Linux, but it’s harder to get the joke with “OS,f,i,enter”
Win, f, i, enter
It’s literally the same with most Linux’s DEs. And even in Window Managers when using dmenu or rofi.
Good. Why did he then fell the need for absurd key combos?
Out-of-the-box Cinnamon & Gnome moment
So, basically, vim? /s
So… emacs?
i prefer key chords as a name for that tbh
Well, there’s REISUB https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
Imagine doing a 720 motion input for turning off your computer
Alt f2 xterm sudo poweroff password
Ctrl Alt f2 sudo poweroff password
SysRq o
sxhkd/swhkd, both support creating these natively and the second one works not just on Wayland, but also X11 and the TTY.
I think they call these “chords”
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:

I think you can already do this in one shortcuts, not sure of any standalone program that does, if definably accidentally bond like Ctrl+d, Ctrl+s to screenshot before
Espanso. A text expander that also runs commands.
