What workflows are you using Karabiner for and why?
Turning the useless Caps Lock key into a Hyper Key (Command,Control,Option,Shift) which allows a single modifier key (Caps Lock) to give a whole new set of hot keys that are unlikely to conflict with anything since they are too hard to type normally.

Have you found a way to do this in Sierra?

I wonder if I could still use my caps lock 'double-tap' for the Keyboard Maestro macro I currently have it assigned to?
Mr. Terpstra came to the rescue.
No. I am just holding down all the modifiers like a dinosaur.
You can as described here use Karabiner Elements to configure the caps lock key to be F18 and then use that to either trigger a bunch of macros and let the Conflict Palette figure it out, or alternatively, use that to activate a macro group for one action and put your macros in there.
So you can sort of fake it.
I'm waiting semi-patiently for a full solution from pqrs to get the Hyper Key back.
Thanks for the response. I think I am going to do the same thing, wait for Karabiner Elements to be ready. Introducing Hammerspoon to the mix seemed to be more fiddly than it was worth.
I downloaded and installed Karabiner. After reviewing the instructions for the Caps Lock key I am stuck. I installed Seil. At this point I am confused how to rewire the Cap Lock Key. I thought it would just be a switch I could flip.
