After jumping through some hoops, I now have caps lock usable as a shortcut button. Here's some things I do with it:

CAPS + 1 = Bring up Bash

CAPS + 2 = Bring up IntelliJ

CAPS + 3 = Bring up Chrome

CAPS + 4 = Bring up Geany

CAPS + 5 = Bring up SourceTree

CAPS + F1 = Chat software

CAPS + F2 = Email

CAPS + F = Full screen the current app (But not really fullscreen - it's like option + green button, except width too)

CAPS + W = Cycle the wifi

CAPS + V = Paste text from the clipboard by typing it in, accounting for tab indentations. This is useful for copying things from Outlook into Confluence. Stupid Confluence.

I use it to have a history of my clipboard (my own jumpcut!)

For me, I use cmd+alt+control to let me access shortcuts like:

cmd+alt+control+k emaKs cmd+alt+control+T Trello cmd+alt+control+M chroMe

And I have cmd+alt+control+/ print this bubble message onto the screen to help remember them all: https://fetchh--captured.s3.amazonaws.com/2016-07-15_135709....

1. Automating network connection switching and related tiggered actions

2. Site specific apps (e.g. trello)

3. Custom browser chooser per URL

4. Clipboard manager

5. Downloader manager

6. Various system information displays

7. Pomodoro timer

8. Various utilities.

I'm using it as a basic window manager and an easy way to start and stop music without having to take my hands out of their usual position.

Here (https://github.com/Linell/hammerspoon-config) is my configuration, although it's nothing fancy.

I have two large monitors side by side.

Hammerspoon is the only utility that could give me what I wanted: Window columns sized ⅓ ⅔ on the left monitor, and ⅔ ⅓ on the right monitor.
