I’m using a keybinding to switch to a new keymap which has many additional
commands (Sorry for not being able to give credit for the original code):

;; launch command keymap
(define-prefix-command 'stm-launcher-map)

(global-set-key (kbd "C-x l") 'stm-launcher-map)

(define-key stm-launcher-map (kbd "=") #'ipcalc-at-point)
(define-key stm-launcher-map (kbd "#") #'generate-password)
(define-key stm-launcher-map (kbd "c") #'calendar)
(define-key stm-launcher-map (kbd "d") #'ediff-buffers)
(define-key stm-launcher-map (kbd "g") #'lgrep)
(define-key stm-launcher-map (kbd "m") #'man)
(define-key stm-launcher-map (kbd "n") #'gnus)

I can press "C-x l n" to open Gnus from everywhere.

Is this what you want?
