    This needs full keystroke access (accessibility + input monitoring). fine for karabiner which everyone's audited, but a brand new solo project? how are people thinking about that?

      I’ll play around and see if it works with reduced permissions. I understand your concern.

      FWIW there’s no outgoing network requests or telemetry, nor logging. Thanks for checking it out anyway

      Gave the repo to Claude and asked for an audit. Seems ok.

    Quite cool, I had to run locally for it to work. Problem is I already use Raycast to set-up virtually the same thing, and use "Caps as Control" in the terminal commands (C-a, C-c...)

      I originally intended for it to bind to the Hyperkey bind but had trouble getting it to play nice with existing binds. Any ideas of other key binds that might work? It occupies a lot of fingers
