About:
Hyperkey transforms a modifier key, such as Caps Lock, into a powerful 'hyper key' that combines all standard modifiers (Cmd, Ctrl, Opt, Shift). This allows you to create complex, conflict-free keyboard shortcuts for launching apps, controlling windows, or executing scripts, effectively expanding your keyboard's shortcut potential exponentially.
Key Features:
  • Remap Caps Lock or any other key to a hyper key
  • Simple, menu-bar-based configuration
  • Works system-wide with any application
  • Lightweight and runs in the background
Use Cases:
  • Creating powerful, app-specific shortcuts without modifier key conflicts
  • Launching applications or scripts with a single, unique key combination
  • Enhancing window management capabilities with custom hotkeys
Alternatives:
  • Karabiner-Elements – More powerful and complex, offering granular control over all keys, but with a steeper learning curve.
  • BetterTouchTool – A broader tool for customizing input devices (mouse, trackpad, touch bar) that also includes advanced keyboard shortcut features.
