quadruple bucky
2. On a Stanford or MIT keyboard in raw mode, use of fourshift keys while typing a fifth character, where the fourshift keys are the control and meta keys on *both* sides ofthe keyboard. This was very difficult to do! One acceptedtechnique was to press the left-control and left-meta keyswith your left hand, the right-control and right-meta keyswith your right hand, and the fifth key with your nose.
Quadruple-bucky combinations were very seldom used inpractice, because when one invented a new command one usuallyassigned it to some character that was easier to type. If youwant to imply that a program has ridiculously many commands orfeatures, you can say something like: "Oh, the command thatmakes it spin the tapes while whistling Beethoven's FifthSymphony is quadruple-bucky-cokebottle."
