chording
Striking multiple notes
Chording is pressing multiple keys or buttons simultaneously to produce a single output.
On a keyboard, chording combines modifier keys with others: Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
Specialized chord keyboards let users type by pressing key combinations rather than individual keys.
In music, chording means playing chords on an instrument: She practiced her guitar chording.
