Okay... now let me try to have you rethink your keyboard shortcuts then: do not choose simple (single modifier) combinations.
[....]
So... for creating keyboard shortcuts to launch apps, etc., use ctrl-shift (or ctrl-command, or command-shift, or ctrl-option, or ctrl-option-command, etc) for your modifiers.(Thanks for the links.)
You're right on the mark, and your points are well taken, but...
When I was setting up my Butler configuration I got a whole bunch of pop-ups warning me that I might be stepping on something or other's toes, but, wanting to keep everything as simple as I could, I elected to face the consequences as they arose, and in the more than
seven years since I made the decision only
two commands have turned around and bitten me, i.e. command-], the loss of which is of no consequence to me, and ^-C, the loss of which, as I've noted, can be overcome with ^-option-C. (As a mater of fact, I've reset Calq's trigger to ^-C.)
Bottom line is I simply don't have enough need for the functionality presented in your linked doc (which, although it's an eye-opener for me, is not likely to change my computing habits very much, if at all) to start changing my triggers.

Most of what would normally be in one's home folder is located in a separate partition on my deuced Mac(hina).
Thanks for your invaluable (as always) feedback.
Edit: Rerun after clearing Safari's cache and Microsoft User Data (which I have no idea what it is, nor does its loss ever seem to make any kind of difference)...
