They're in a zip file at
https://kerri.is/coding/BBEdit_open_glyph_clippings.zip if you want to
download them. To put them into action, go to BBEdit -> Clippings menu (the
round C) -> Open Clippings Folder, and stick them in your Universal Items.
Then open your Clippings palette, Set Shortcuts, and there you go -- you
can set your own "modifier" key by deciding which one you want to use.
