Once you start using **ctrl** , **shift** or **alt** either singular or in combination with a key as a shortcut, you increasingly have to use two hands – or at least I do.

With the Stream Deck you can program a Stream Deck key to perform a shortcut, say, **ctrl** + **shift** + **alt** + **P** which does require two hands.
