"Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]

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:

sxhkd/swhkd, both support creating these natively and the second one works not just on Wayland, but also X11 and the TTY.
