[!TIP] Capslox is the cross-platform successor to Capslock+. Capslock+ enriched the Caps Lock key. Capslox extends that idea across your whole keyboard — drive cursor, text, windows and clipboards from home row, with a default keymap that works out of the box and layered shortcuts you can change per app. Available on macOS and Windows.

How to run the source code?

1. Download and install AutoHotkey (v1.1.+)
2. Clone the Capslock+ source code
3. Run Capslock+.ahk

How to set a custom function to a hotkey?

1. There is a key function keyFunc_example2 in demo.ahk.
2. Add below setting under the [Keys] section in CapsLock+settings.ini: caps_f7=keyFunc_example2
3. Save, reload Capslock+ (CapsLock+F5)
4. Press CapsLock+F7 to invoke the function

• In order to avoid calling the internal functions, all the key functions are restricted to start with keyfunc_

An example here:

Replace Capslock+Q with Listary

Listary is a good app launcher, now I want to add two features to it:

1. Activate Listary with CapsLock+Q
2. I want to fill the selected text into the pop-up text input box

We can make it like this:

1. Copy the following code to /userAHK/main.ahk:

keyfunc_listary(){
    ; Get the selected text
    selText:=getSelText()

    ; Send win+F (the default hotkey of Listary) to activate Listary
    sendinput, #{f}

    ; Wait until Listary is activated
    winwait, ahk_exe Listary.exe, , 0.5

    ; If there is any selected text
    if(selText){
        ; Add "gg " before the selected text to google
        selText:="gg " . selText

        ; Fill the text, and press `home` key to move the cursor to the beginning,
        ; in order to add other keywords if you need.
        sendinput, %selText%{home}
    }
}

2. Add a setting caps_q=keyfunc_listary() under [Keys] section in CapsLock+settings.ini, save, press CapsLock+F5 to reload, done.

How to modify the original functions?

CapsLock+.ahk is the entry file, library files are in the /lib folder, the function of each file is as follows:
