How do I turn Caps Lock into a Hyper key with Notchy?
Turn on “Caps Lock as Hyper Key” in Settings → Behavior → Hyper Key. Holding Caps Lock then presses ⌃⌥⇧⌘ together, a combination no app uses, so it's free for your own shortcuts. Caps Lock no longer types capitals while this is on.
Step by step
- Open Settings → Behavior and find the Hyper Key section.
- Switch on “Caps Lock as Hyper Key”. Notchy asks for Accessibility if it doesn't have it yet.
- Leave “Press Alone for Escape” on if you want a quick tap of Caps Lock to send Escape, or turn it off.
- Hold Caps Lock with another key wherever you set a shortcut — in Notchy or any other app.
Good to know
Quitting Notchy or turning the switch off gives Caps Lock back its normal behaviour.
Notchy keeps any other key remapping you already have and changes only Caps Lock.
