I love Karabiner, though I only remapped a couple of keys and did the rest with HammerSpoon. I think I remapped the rock cmd to backspace and caps lock to hyper. The rest was HammerSpoon.

Do you have any specific configs/use cases for Hammerspoon that have jumped out as super useful?

For me, the two biggest improvements were:

1. App switching (hold F then use all keys under the right hand, each key bound to launch and/or focus a particular app)

2. Window management (hold W then use right hand as arrow keys to snap windows)

Paired with a keyboard that lets you remap held keys to modifier combinations (I use Ergodox) has been great.


There is one beyond those two that has been amazingly useful : I wrote a script to type out the contents of my clipboard. That's been very useful on more than one occasion.
