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.

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-root
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
i prefer key chords as a name for that tbh
So... emacs?
I think they call these "chords"
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
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.
Espanso. A text expander that also runs commands.
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
Most desktop environments you just hit alt+f2 to activate the launcher which lets you run any command you want
