guide Remap Alfred to Caps Lock (Using Karabiner Elements)

[Floating.Point]

As part of my larger system for using Alfred, I employ Karabiner Elements to invoke Alfred via a single press of the Caps Lock key.

It's just a nice, big, easy-to-hit, one-shot key to launch Alfred, and you can still activate Caps Lock's normal functionality via Shift + Caps Lock

 

If you want this for yourself, its easy:

 

1. Install and open Karabiner Elements
2. Go to ‘Complex Modifications’
3. Click ‘Add your own rule’
4. Copy and paste the contents of this JSON into the field
5. Open Alfred Preferences
6. Go to General
7. Set Alfred Hotkey to ⌃⌥⇧⌘+Space. (If you’ve already set up Karabiner Elements, simply press your Caps Lock key here)
