Could you build this?
Partial Designing a visual UI for keybindings is easy, but low-level macOS system-wide keyboard event interception, remapping, and layer state management requires deep C/Objective-C/Swift knowledge of IOKit, CGEventTap, or DriverKit.
What it would actually take: The app requires Swift/AppKit for the UI and a low-level background daemon using CoreGraphics `CGEventTap` or a custom DriverKit/IOKit dext kernel-level extension to intercept raw hardware keycodes before the OS dispatches them. The difficult parts include handling secure input mode (passwords), avoiding input lag or dropped keystrokes, managing complex modifier layering states, and passing Apple's strict accessibility/system extension permissions.
