Karabiner (layers)
Caps → Hyper (⌃⌥⇧⌘)- (Optional, if you enable) Hyper layer for nav/stack ops via skhd.
skhd · Yabai (bindings)
Focus (move between windows)
⌥h / ⌥j / ⌥k / ⌥l → focus west / south / north / east
Swap (reorder in BSP/Stack)
Hyper h / j / k / l → swap west / south / north / east
Stack view (iterate inside a stack)
Hyper [ → focus stack.prev (or stack.last)
Hyper ] → focus stack.next (or stack.first)
Hyper k → focus stack.prev (or stack.last)
Hyper j → focus stack.next (or stack.first)
Insertion hints (where the next split will land)
⌥⇧h / ⌥⇧j / ⌥⇧k / ⌥⇧l → set insert west / south / north / east
Layout & transform
Hyper r → rotate space 90°
Hyper x → mirror X-axis
Hyper y → mirror Y-axis
Hyper e → toggle split type
Float / center / zoom / borders
Hyper t → toggle float, then center (grid 4x4:1:1:2:2)
Hyper z → toggle fullscreen zoom
Right ⌘ + b → toggle window border

Use Hyper (Caps) as your single muscle-memory layer. Alt (
⌥) focus keys remain as portable fallbacks.
Found something that could be even more beautiful or performant? I'm always looking to push the boundaries of what's possible with desktop environments.
