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.

hyprland has this, but you have to configure it. It's called Submaps. Some other tiling window managers/compositors (notion for example) have it too, but not to that extent. (notion can be enhanced by Lua scripting, tho.)
The idea is, after the first key of the sequence the meaning of a set of keys change. You could configure those to change the meanings again etc until you finally reach whatever depth you wanted and it performs an action.
However, be warned that hyprland is currently developed by very elitist people who like to support onky a very small set of distributions (primarily Arch btw) and have not much interest in other peoples Ubuntu shenanigens and the likes. It is extremely hard to install in Ubuntu and similar, requiring you to do minor edits to build scripts and source code in multiple languages and finding required library versions from build errors that do not mention them.
Sway and I3 as well, without the warning
