Description
Let's say I have the following skhdrc:
```
home : skhd -k "cmd - left"
end : skhd -k "cmd - right"
```
This does what I'm looking for - `home` and `end` move to the ends of the current line.
But now say I add this (either before or after; doesn't seem to matter):
```
cmd - left : skhd -k "alt - left"
cmd - right : skhd -k "alt - right"
```
now `home` and `end` move by single words, presumably because this happens:
```
home -> cmd-left -> alt-left
```
What I am looking to do is to stop the parsing after the first translation, and not have skhd reinterpret its own output. Is this possible?

Research direction
Reproduce the recursive behavior with the skhdrc configuration in the issue, then read the related comment on issue #141. Trace how emitted keypresses are fed back into key binding processing; done means the first translation occurs without reinterpreting its output.
