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.

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’”

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.

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.
