hyperkey

It would be great if you could implement the hyperkey feature.

Thanks for the suggestion!

To clarify how this currently works: Asyar actually already supports Hyper key shortcuts (Control + Option + Command + Shift + <Key>) out of the box. If you use an external tool like Karabiner-Elements, BetterTouchTool, Ryan Hanson's Hyperkey app, or a QMK keyboard that maps Caps Lock to the 4-way modifier chord, Asyar's shortcut recorder will detect it and trigger your actions without issue.

Regarding building a native Caps Lock remapping engine directly into Asyar:
My primary goal with Asyar is keeping it cross-platform (macOS, Windows, Linux), lightweight, and fast (12 ms hotkey latency, sub-600ms cold start). Implementing low-level, system-wide key interception for tap-vs-hold Caps Lock remapping requires deep OS event taps that can introduce system-wide typing latency and doesn't translate cleanly to Linux/Wayland due to compositor security restrictions. For that reason, I prefer to keep Asyar focused on being the best launcher possible and leave hardware/HID key remapping to dedicated system tools that already excel at it.

However, what I can do is add first-class UI support for Hyper chords:

• Recognizing ⌃⌥⇧⌘ in the shortcut recorder and displaying it with a clean ✦ glyph (or Hyper) instead of listing all four modifier badges.
