Not a shortcut exactly, but remap caps lock to ctrl. So much easier in terminal and for using shortcuts like ctrl-A & ctrl-E for beginning and end of line, etc.
Or to esc. Saves my vim pinky a lot of grief.
My control key is a. My command key is e. I open apps by pressing w + . ie w+l opens VSCode. Press it again and it switches to previous app (under the hood w+l calls a Keyboard Maestro macro).
It’s quite awesome.
Spectacle ( https://github.com/eczarny/spectacle#keyboard-shortcuts ) will change your life with better/faster window management. And Karabiner Elements ( https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements ) to remap keys to something more useful (who uses Caps Lock anymore?)
Cmd+shift+/ - brings up help search to search through menu items. Huge feature to me over windows, Linux-based desktop environments. Not exactly a shortcut, but I once made a gesture-driven shortcut app ( https://thimblemac.com ) - it’s been on hiatus the past couple years but have been wondering if there’s value in it for programming work contexts.

Iirc you can remap capslock in OS X settings, don't need an addon for that. Thought I'm sure Elements does a lot more than just that.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
with Karabiner, you can make it so that a tap of caps lock emits an escape, while still being able to use it as a ctrl modifier when pressed in conjunction with other keys: https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/document.html#configuration-c...
I don’t think karabiner elements supports that and I believe that the old karabiner no longer works with current versions of Mac OS
I use it for both Caps Lock -> Escape/Control and Return -> Return/Control and it's indispensible.

I forget what the tool was, but I recall someone mentioning they mapped CapsLock to ESC when tapped, and to Ctrl when held.
On Linux you can get it to do the same thing with a combination of xmodmap, setxkbmap and xcape (but it's fiddly) and on Windows with AutoHotkey (but it's fiddly) — neither are as easy to use as Karabiner Elements, but they do work.
Does anyone know a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to show and hide a specific app? I love this feature in iTerm2 and would like to have it for my browser and text editor as well.
