HyperCap

HyperCap lets users repurpose the Caps Lock key as a modifier that can be combined with any other key while it is held down. By holding Caps Lock together with a second key, the software generates a distinct “hyperkey” input, enabling custom shortcuts or alternative command sequences without requiring additional hardware. The tool runs in the background, intercepting key events and translating the Caps Lock + key combination into the configured output.

The utility is aimed at people who want to extend their keyboard’s functionality, such as developers, power users, or anyone who frequently uses keyboard shortcuts. Because it works at the system level, it can be applied across any application that accepts standard key inputs, providing a consistent way to trigger custom actions from a single, easily reachable modifier.

HyperCap is currently labeled as experimental, indicating that it may still be undergoing testing and refinement. Users should expect basic remapping capabilities and may need to adjust settings manually to achieve the desired hyperkey behavior.
