Obsolete. 1. On an MIT spaCe-Cadet keyboard, use of all four of the shifting keys ( Control, meta, hyper, and super) while typing a Chara Cter key. 2. On a Stanford or MIT keyboard in raw mode, use of four shift keys while typing a fifth Chara Cter, where the four shift keys are the Control and meta keys on *both* sides of the keyboard. This was very diffi Cult to do! One a CCepted te Chnique was to press the left- Control and left-meta keys with your left hand, the right- Control and right-meta keys with your right hand, and the fifth key with your nose. Quadruple-bu Cky Combinations were very seldom used in pra Cti Ce, be Cause when one invented a new Command one usually assigned it to some Chara Cter that was easier to type.
