MacOS 15 Sequoia has window tiling built in, and I’d like to make shortcuts for Top Left, Bottom Right etc. However, my keyboard doesn’t have a Function (Globe) key on the left, and it’s a pain to use modifiers on left and right with Apple’s default shortcuts, so I thought I’d remap Caps Lock to Globe.
In Keyboard Maestro, Function + arrow keys map to Home, End, Page Up and Page Down. I could set up Ctrl-Shift-CapsLock + arrow keys for three of the corners, and see ⌃⌥⇧ plus the symbol for Home etc. However, for some reason holding Ctrl-Shift-CapsLock + Down arrow doesn’t register in Keyboard Maestro. If I hold Ctrl-Shift-Function + Down arrow, the key combo registers in Keyboard Maestro, but only works for those keys, and not when I substitute Caps Lock for Function.
On checking further it seems to be the combo of Control with Caps Lock-mapped-to-Function that breaks — other modifiers like Shift or Option register as Keyboard Maestro hot keys as expected. Has anyone else experienced this?
↑ Added by using Function key. It’s also weird that if I’ve mapped Caps Lock to be a Function key, this only triggers when using Function (and not Caps Lock)
