## What it is
A collection of Hammerspoon and Karabiner configuration that remaps the keyboard for system-wide productivity on macOS. It repurposes the caps lock key, adds home-row navigation (hjkl), window arrangement, Markdown formatting, and app-launching shortcuts that work in every application.

## Use cases
- remap caps lock to escape and control on mac
- navigate with hjkl everywhere on macOS
- arrange mac windows from the keyboard
- format text as markdown with keyboard shortcuts
- launch apps with a hyper key
- system-wide vim-style keyboard navigation

## When to choose
- you use macOS and want consistent, editor-agnostic keyboard shortcuts in every app
- you want vim-style home-row navigation and window management without leaving the keyboard
- you already use Hammerspoon or Karabiner and want a proven configuration

## When to avoid
- you're on Windows or Linux, since the setup targets macOS tooling
- you prefer stock keyboard behavior or don't want to learn custom modes
- you need a cross-platform or GUI-configurable remapping solution
