Trying to generate some keyboard shortcuts using Hyperkey as configured in BTT.

It seems to be set up correctly - have a "Caps Lock" shortcut set to be the Hyperkey. That being said, when trying to make other shortcuts based on the new Hyperkey shortcut, it only registers the CMD+OPT+SHIFT+CTRL, and will not register the next key press (ie. Caps Lock + 1 to generate some trigger).

What am I doing wrong here?

Take a look how I've configured it, hope it will help:

Configure Caps Lock as Hyper Key:

Usage of Caps Lock as Hyper Key:

Note that you need to press all 4 modifier keys + the next key (e.g. - **1** ) when recording a shortcut and **not** simply press Caps Lock (if I understand you are doing exactly this, right?).
