Changelog

Introducing Hyperkey: it turns a single key into a powerful shortcut modifier, so you can trigger unique shortcuts easily. Hyperkey lets you remap a key like Caps Lock to act as Ctrl+Alt+Win pressed all at once. You can also include Shift in the combo for even more options. Choose your trigger key from Caps Lock, any modifier key, or F1-F12 in Settings → "Keyboard & Shortcuts" → "Hyper Key" and then record a hotkey with it. Hyperkey shortcuts appear in the UI with the ✦ symbol, making them easy to spot and remember.
