Earlier versions
Before V3, the Capslock layout went through three editions: an AutoHotkey script for Windows, an XML configuration for the original Karabiner on OS X, and a first set of rules for Karabiner-Elements. Their files are still in the GitHub repository. These pages record what each edition did and how it was installed.
These versions are not maintained. They were written for operating systems that are many years old, and nobody has checked them against current macOS or Windows. To use the layout today, install Mac V3.
| Version | Years | Ran on | Configuration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mac V2 | 2017 – 2021 | Karabiner-Elements on macOS 10.11 – 10.13 | Complex-modification rules in JSON |
| Mac V1 | 2015 – 2017 | Karabiner and Seil on OS X 10.10 – 10.11 | A Karabiner private.xml |
| Windows | 2013 – 2015 | AutoHotkey on Windows XP – 10 | An AutoHotkey script and a prebuilt .exe |
The Mac editions wrote Hyper as ✱, and these pages keep that notation:
✱ H means hold Caps Lock and press H.
Capslock Enhancement Mac V2, the 2017–2021 Karabiner-Elements rules that made Caps Lock Escape on a tap and Hyper on a hold.
Capslock Mac V1, the 2015–2017 private.xml that used Seil and the original Karabiner to turn Caps Lock into Hyper on OS X 10.10 and 10.11.
The 2013–2015 AutoHotkey script where Capslock began, kept with its source and an old prebuilt executable.
