In the video I go over things, like:
how I reboot my router via telnet with a bettertouchtool shortcut (I know, it's not secure, but I know my risks)
how I restart the yabai service or any other service with a bettertouchtool shortcut
how I connect my airpods with a bettertouchtool shortcut
how I execute tmux related commands using bettertouchtool shortcuts
How I copy text on my terminal to my clipboard using a bettertouchtool shortcut
How I paste that text in my clipboard to a neovim file, and extract part of the text to paste it somewhere else in the same file.
And much more

You can trigger bettertouchtool actions from an external tool, like in my case I use karabiner-elements using the "Copy Link to activate selected trigger" option. Or you can configure a keyboard shortcut in bettertouchtool to run a specific action/trigger.
