setup.md

1. Create workspaces via Mission Control

• Activate Mission Control (swipe three fingers on track pad up)
• Add workspaces via the plus sign (hover mouse over RHS to bring it up)

2. Add keyboard shortcuts to switch to created workspaces

• System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Mission Control
• Check the box next to relevant boxes. The shortcut can be edited by double clicking on it

3. Remap Caps Lock to Escape when pressed and Control when held

• Using Karabiner-Elements
• There's a guide on the internet somewhere

4. Remap Option to CMD

• Using Karabiner-Elements
• Add a simple rule to map left_option to left_command
• As option is in the place where super (Mod4) is, this maps to a "windows keyboard" better

4. Install chunkwm and skhd

• Using left CMD/Option as super
• No idea what alt maps to
