Hyperkey
brew install --cask hyperkey
v1.56
Remap your caps lock or modifier keys to a hyper key (ctrl+shift+cmd+opt) for custom shortcuts.
Why you might care
Creates a 4-modifier combination key that rarely conflicts with existing shortcuts, letting you define dozens of new keyboard shortcuts without retraining muscle memory. Useful for power users who want quick access to frequently-used apps or workflows without juggling multiple key combinations.
