Yeah current shortcut management on Mac is a nightmare!
@abogoyavlensky From what I heard it's possible you might achieve the same thing. BUT, Karabiner Elements is doing a lot of things. Which makes everything overwhelming for first users. Double Tap is is doing just ONE thing. It enables you to double tap a modifier key to trigger a shortcut. Very simple.

I like how this makes everyday shortcuts easier to reach. It removes a bit of friction from small tasks.
@clement_x Congrats on the launch! Really like how clean and focused each tool feels.
One thing I’ve noticed with collections of small utilities like this is that behavior can differ across macOS versions or when download links get out of sync.
If you’re planning more cross-version testing or reliability checks, I’ve been working a lot with these edge cases recently and happy to share a few insights.
Great job!
@metse_kgatla Thank you! I really appreciate that. I’m definitely planning to improve cross-version testing, so any insights you’re willing to share would be super helpful.

That's great to get faster on macOS! Which data do you collect/analyze?

@robin_prime I know, feels like it should be part of the OS honestly

@turtletop I don't collect / analyze any data. Combinations of keys just trigger the action.

@luke_glover right now it doesn't support local shortcuts, only global shortcuts. I'm thinking of building another version for that.
