Could you build this?
Partial While basic snippet expansion is straightforward, building a reliable macOS Hyper-key remap and global shortcut daemon requires low-level macOS system programming.
What it would actually take: The app requires a native Swift/Objective-C macOS application utilizing Accessibility APIs and Core Graphics Event Taps (`CGEventTap`) to intercept and synthesize low-level keyboard events. Remapping system keys like Caps Lock into a Hyper key (Cmd+Ctrl+Opt+Shift) requires precise C-level event manipulation, handling complex macOS permission flows, and edge cases around keyboard layout switching.
