Besides the usual Firefox/Chrome, Spotify, etc I use the following:
- Karabiner-Elements[0] for key remapping, specifically, for making caps lock into ctrl/esc. I don't know of anything else that does this job. Everyone who remaps keys seems to use this.
- Kitty[1] as my terminal of choice. I spend most of my time logged in remotely to a server via ssh where I attach to a tmux session. Kitty was easy enough to configure/theme and seems well-documented.
- Hammerspoon[2] for a DIY automation/keybinding/window management sys scriptable via lua. I use a private fork of this config: https://github.com/jasonrudolph/keyboard/tree/main https://github.com/jasonrudolph/keyboard/tree/main
- Vivid[3] to make my macbook's screen brighter when outdoors on sunny days. This is important for me, since I try to spend as much time outside as possible.

- junon 2y agoLatest MacOS allows rebinding caps lock now BTW. Actually might be the last two or three.
- emidln 2y agoIt only allows simple rebinds, although maybe this makes Karaviner-Elements not necessary for most people. MacOS can do caps lock to control or caps lock to escape. I bind caps lock to escape if pressed alone or control if pressed together with another key.
