It’s one of those little things that, once you’ve seen them in action, you can’t help but wonder: How on earth did we live without it? Of course I’m talking about:
Nothing against the little green light in the caps lock key, but that’s the last place I’m looking at while typing. This new indicator is a super elegant solution in my book, because I notice it without even typing, right where the problem is about to happen.
And it hopefully annoys confirmed shouters.
Are there any features you are looking forward to?
I forget Caps Lock even exists, I’ve been binding that to Ctrl/Esc hybrid for so many years now. I used this tool pretty much for one thing: to make it so when you tap Caps Lock it acts as an Esc keypress, and when you hold it down and combine it with other keys it acts like Command. It’s always annoyed me that one of the most ergonomic positions on the keyboard for a modifier key is occupied by something as generally useless as Caps Lock.
There used to be a native setting for that, and maybe there still is somewhere in the iOS Settings panel that got ported over to macOS. Maybe try searching for “Modifiers”? You could swap all of them around as I recall, or disable keys you don’t want.
I only used Karabiner because I like that multi-use behaviour (and as a Vim user, Esc gets used… a lot).
Both.
First the executable because I followed the link I thought was for the script but led to AHK home page.
And then I found the code, that I actually copied, and created a new script at my end, and pasted the code in it.
I’m looking forward to a helpful and cheery paperclip popping-up when I start writing a letter that will ask me if I need help to write. I can see that as a real boon to the advancement of the species…
That paperclip, wherever it is, must be pretty solidly morose and bitter by now. Maybe more biting binder clip than a cheery chipper. Be careful what you wish for.
I can’t even remember…
