Hyper pressed by itself opens the Office application, which kicks me out of any fullscreen app if I press it by itself. I pressed Hyper+P, and watched as Powerpoint opened in a new tab. I pressed Hyper+W and looked up in horror as my computer opened /launch/word in Chrome. Weird, I didn't program that, I thought to myself, and slowly found myself pecking keys in an attempt to map this new behavior.

It worked, but during testing, I noticed Hyper+Space opened the emoji picker. I wrote my AutoHotKey script to make my Caps Lock useful again, and wrote a simple shortcut to open Chrome with Hyper+C. I attempted to do the same thing on my new Windows PC and was horrified to discover Microsoft has cannibalized my keyboard based on the whims of their marketing department. I rebind Caps Lock (an utterly useless key) to Shift+Control+Option+Command on my Mac, making it function as a hyper key I can use for extra shortcuts.
