    you might be able to get this to work with karabiner. There's existing rules for things like ctrl+h/j/k/l for arrow keys. Looks like there is a way to make regular keys act as modifiers too. I don't think your specific example anybody has made before, but it looks like it can be done.

    As for the tiling windows manager there is https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst (there is yabai too but as I saw you need to change some critical files for it to work) For keyboard shortcuts you can use karabiner https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements (you can import configs from its site to make the OS usable)

    I just came across https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/issues/1225 and it looks like I can modify the file at ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json so I don't need to use the UI to edit JSON

    Karabiner Elements is ~19 MB: https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/releases

    In your screenshot, the value you reference is the size of the entire package repository: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask

    Your point still stands as these sizes are larger than one would expect. Just food for thought.

    Cap locks should be control the way god intended it! :)

    You can use the hidutil if you want to script changes yourself:

    Or Karabiner Elements:

    I have an Filco Japanese keyboard and the default settings on macOS even when the keyboard is set to Japanese (QWERTY JIS) gets the 英数 (alphanumeric) key, and かな (kana) key wrong (and they are supported on the built in laptop keyboard).
