How can I have unlimited keyboard shortcuts?

There's only so many keys in a keyboard, I want limitless possibilities with key bindings by being able to bind key sequences to actions.

How can I bind an action to an extended shortcut?

Let's say

Control-x-k to    'open textedit'

I know there's no hardware limitation preventing long keyboard shortcuts, because with emacs you can do

(global-set-key (kbd "C-x k") 'open-something)

I don't believe that macOS will let you add key sequences in System Preference -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts. However, you should be able to do it, but you will most likely have to manually add shortcuts in plist files.

I think the answer provided here, as well as this repository, will help you create custom keyboard shortcuts.
