## What it is
CapsLock is a keyboard enhancement configuration that remaps the CapsLock key into a powerful Hyper modifier key on macOS (via Karabiner-Elements) and historically Windows (via AutoHotkey). It provides Vim-style navigation, mouse control via keyboard, clipboard management, window/app switching, and terminal shortcuts across 16 extensible control planes.

## Use cases
- turn capslock into a hyper key on mac
- vim-style keyboard navigation without moving hands
- control the mouse cursor with the keyboard
- quickly switch windows tabs and desktops
- multiple text clipboards with keyboard shortcuts
- remap capslock to escape when tapped
- launch and switch apps with keyboard shortcuts

## When to choose
- you use macOS with Karabiner-Elements and want a Hyper modifier
- you want Vim-style navigation system-wide without leaving the home row
- you prefer keyboard-driven mouse, window, and app control
- you are a developer optimizing for keyboard productivity

## When to avoid
- you are on Windows and need actively maintained support (Windows version is archived)
- you use Linux (not supported)
- you prefer minimal keyboard remapping without learning new control planes
- you cannot or do not want to install Karabiner-Elements
