Hotkey Triggers using Left/Right Modifiers

[Nr.5-need_input]

Hey Neil

Frank was speaking about this kind of thing

Double Tap Cmd/Opt/Shift/Control as Hotkeys

For a very long time I've been using the ⌥ key to trigger macros. Here's an example showing the left and right Option keys double-tapped being used as a trigger: [2023-01-05_12-27-44] A couple of things to notice about this: I use the USB device key trigger. I also use Karabiner Elements to map the shift-lock key to the hyper key combination: ⌃⌥⌘⇧. (I don't know if that's relevant.) Finally, I use an Apple Magic Keyboard with my iMac. I don't know if this still works if you don't use Karabi…

My thoughts are maybe there maybe will be a way but it is a complex way - and not every case will work …
