Remap Capslock Key in Keymando?

Can you remap the CapsLock key in Keymando?

CapsLock is listed as an available key but when I try a test like:

map "<CapsLock-j>" { alert("CapsLock-j") }

... and hit Reload Config in the Keymando menu, I get an error dialog that says:

Error Parsing Keymando Config File

undefined method `ctrl' for nil:NilClass

Is there perhaps an abbreviation of CapsLock? For example, in the available keys, the Control key is just listed as Control but in the example code it is ctrl. Is there a similar abbreviation for CapsLock?

If possible, I would like to use the CapsLock key as a mode key to implement logic like:

if <CapsLock>
  map <j>, <Down>
  map <k>, <Up>
  # ...etc
end
Solution

  • Sorry, that's a mistake on our part listing Capslock on the website. Currently it can only be remapped to Control, Option, or Command via the Keyboard.prefPane under "Modifer Keys.." and there's no way for us right now to detect if it's been pressed.

    We'll keep our eyes open for a solution but as of right now it's not going to do what you're wanting. Sorry.

    The website has been fixed to avoid any more confusion, as well.
