It’s not a keyboard mod, it’s Mac software that does something that’s already freely available and open source in Hammerspoon. I’ve seen that dude acting like his project is some crazy new thing, but he just ignored the already existing software that does his thing and much more.

That's interesting to know! Open source is the way to go where we can.

I do like using (~~proprietary sadly~~ edit: see below) AutoHotkey on the Windows machine at work, aaaand thanks to learning about Hammerspoon I've been bitten with the itch to do this on Linux at home! :)

Edit... waaaait AHK is open-source?! Nice :) I'll do some digging after work! :)

Hammerspoon is open source macOS software that allows you to control your computer in pretty much any way you can imagine.

AutoHotKey is the standard for windows.
