Thanks! Got one request though: would it be possible to add custom shortcuts to open apps? Like mec to launch Microsoft Edge Canary or ss to open System Settings?

My M2 Air 24Gb 512SDD feels really fast still.

Just the globe key. I can disable it from System Settings > Keyboard > ā€œPress (globe) key toā€ but itā€™s not picked up when I try to record it.
