What if I want to combine Ctrl+Shift+1+0 to obtain "≠", for example? I'm saying this combination, like I could say any other (like a+b), it's just one example.

Possibly look into using other level modifiers. I use caps lock as level 5 mod to use navigation at home row. You could then map custom keys to say Caps+0

This would also help avoid polluting the ctrl, ctrl+shift layers at they are typically application level keybinds.

But this would have a higher learning curve than using other tools for key mapping.

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.
