Be aware: Sierra breaks Karabiner and Seil. You'll need to use Karabiner-Elements, which has far less functionality than Karabiner. Notably, you can't remap caps lock and you can't assign to more than 2 keys, so caps-lock "hyper" is out.

You _can_ remap Caps Lock. It's even in the [readme](https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements/blob/master/usa...). I was using Seil on El Capitan and after upgrading to Sierra I went to the Seil website and I see it says "use Karabiner elements now". Ok, I uninstalled Seil, installed Karabiner elements, got configuration example from readme file and it works as it did before. I use it to switch keyboard languages with Caps Lock key.

That's great to know. So all that's missing is the ability to map more than 2 keys so we can get `hyper` back.

Seems this is the place to look: https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements/blob/master/src...

That's kind of a deal-breaker for me. I rely on shortcuts with a virtual hyper key that it would be painful to lose it.
