I included a snippet of a config file that has apparently led to some confusion, so I’m elaborating here on the full configuration. Yesterday I posted excitedly about full Hyper key functionality being available in macOS 10.12+. I can map the Hyper key using any of an assortment of utilities to do all kinds of fun things.ĭue to changes in macOS Sierra and Karabiner being rewritten as Karabiner Elements, we lost the Hyper Key, until the latest update: The end result is that hitting my Caps Lock key once still gives me “Escape,” but holding it triggers a “Hyper” modifier key (simultaneous Control, Shift, Option and Command). Given that I’ve already ruined my muscle memory, I figured I’d take it a step further. I’ve become quite used to it - to the point where using other people’s keyboards is inconvenient. I’ve had my Caps Lock key remapped to an escape key for some time now. On Keychron, FN is where I would like to have Options. Brett Terpstra explained this back in 2012: Karabiner doesnt allow me to reassign FN key on Keychron K2 Hey So Ive bought Keychron K2, my first mechanical keyboard Unfortunately, I use a lot of Options key, and it was very comfortable on the Apple Keyboard to have in on both sides.

Not only does this make it a remarkable little board. A Hyper Key simulates the pressing of four modifier keys at the same time - Shift + Control + Option/Alt + Command. Keychron took the low-profile, budget design of the K3, and zhuzhed it up with a few of the premium features more often found on its Q series.
