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.

You could do that at the firmware level, with QMK or ZMK macros (or, presumably, whatever other firmware). It might be a long one, but launching an application or the like could just be typing the combination that runs it. I haven't used KDE, but something like super, then type the name, then enter, should work.
Having said that, a quick look at keyd proposed by the other replier does seem like it has more than enough capability, and if you have one setup you want to use it for and not move the keyboard between computers, it very well might be the better choice for you.
