Original Text

MegaKey is a proposed standardization + extension of Hyper and Meh

- Mental tools for your mind: turn a mouthful like "Shift+Control+Option+Command+C" into "Giga+C"

- Software tools for your fingers: easily press Shift+Control+Option+Command+C using just two fingers from a single hand! (via Karabiner rules)

I renamed Hyper and Meh because the modifier key combinations varied depending on the source. I picked the most logical combination: Giga == Shift + Mega

I picked the names/symbols and even modifier combinations so they would be easy remember. Explained in detail: https://leftium.github.io/megakey/modifiers

In addition, I created 3 more pseudo-modifier keys. They are very handy for existing shortcuts. For example:

- Wish+Space: TrellisWM "Show everything"[1] (Ctrl+Option+Space)

- Chaos+N: Chrome "Add tab to new split view" (Cmd+Option+N)

- More useful pre-existing shortcuts: https://leftium.github.io/megakey/shortcuts
