What Hacker News says
3 sourcesCreating a Hyper Key (i.e., remapping capslock to become an additional modifier key) is a game changer! I use Capslock [1] with Karabiner Elements on macOS.

In My macOS keyboard shortcutsI’ve been doing this lately too. I’m still on a regular keyboard but preparing for a 60% mechanical by getting used to hyper+hjkl for cursor movement.
I found another project, which also uses Karabiner Elements, to be a good starting point for customization. I especially like moving system-wide type shortcuts like 1password to it so I have fewer conflicts with editor plugin shortcuts.
