quadruple bucky

quadruple bucky n.,obs.  1. On an MIT {space-cadet
   keyboard}, use of all four of the shifting keys (control, meta,
   hyper, and super) while typing a character key.  2. On a Stanford
   or MIT keyboard in {raw mode}, use of four shift keys while
   typing a fifth character, where the four shift keys are the control
   and meta keys on *both* sides of the keyboard.  This was very
   difficult to do!  One accepted technique 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-bucky combinations were very seldom used in practice,
   because when one invented a new command one usually assigned it to
   some character that was easier to type.  If you want to imply that
   a program has ridiculously many commands or features, you can say
   something like: "Oh, the command that makes it spin the tapes
   while whistling Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is
   quadruple-bucky-cokebottle."  See {double bucky}, {bucky
   bits}, {cokebottle}.
