Thank you for HYPER, I love it.
I've been using ZSA keyboards and am exploring to set up a MEH key (Command + Opt + Shift). Like Hyper, I'd be using MEH to execute quick comands and launch apps.
Has anyone set up a MEH key via BTT?

BTT can actually press and release any combination of modifiers with any key. There are predefined actions for this.
However, I doubt whether this always works reliably. What doesn't seem to work at all are shortcuts that have been set up with BTT.
so I managed to get BTT to press three modifiers for MEH upon pressing something like caps lock but BTT would never release those keys. anyway to solve this issue?
Did you use the predefined actions press/release modifiers? And in the shortcut section "any key" down --> modifier down. Released --> modifier up?
not sure how this is supposed to work. so I want to remap an existing key: when that key is pressed I want to behave as if ctrl + shift + alt are being pressed and held. Then I would be able to press any other arbitrary key to achieve MEH + arbitrary key
Currently this won't work due to a limitation in the keyboard handling code (that causes the modifier to be released whenever another key is pressed). However I plan to fix that soon.

@Andreas_Hegenberg Mm, it works for me ... no idea why.
However, I have only tested this with cmd and the "3". "3"+A --> select all. "3" up --> cmd up. 
does it work with shortcuts defined in BTT for your as well? I think it can not due to the way these are currently handled.
This works. But at the moment only with shorcuts that were not set up in BTT.
If "that key" is a letter and you still want to be able to type this letter, then you need three triggers.
- short press: "letter" typed on up
- long press down: modifiers down
- long press up: modifiers up
That’s really exciting.
If you were to get MEH working, would that same fix enable home row mods? I’d love to keep all of my keyboard hacks and shortcuts in one app.
would love to see a first-class citizen support for the meh key as for the hyper key in BTT (aka easy remapping of existing key to meh key)
Hi Andreas, thanks for maintaining this active community. Is there any sight on functionality for using the MEH key? I still rely on Superkey for this but would love to cut down on needed apps. Thanks, Jan
MEH is ⌃ ⌥ ⇧ ?
Since recently, this should work with shortcuts from other apps as well as with shortcuts set up in BTT.
Assuming you want to do this with Caps Lock: In mac os remap Caps Lock to control and add the virtual modifiers opt and shift.
Hi, sorry, I was no clear enough. I would like to make the right Cmd-key the MEH-key which is indeed shift-ctrl-option. How would this work?
Haha, is it :
- shift + control + cmd
or - shift + control + option
Do you really need exactly this combination of modifiers or do you just need that right cmd + letter triggers something else than left cmd + letter?
Anyway, this works here.
Right cmd --> shift + control + cmd DOWN / UP
cmd+ctr+shift UP.bttpreset (2.0 KB)
cmd+ctr+shift DOWN.bttpreset (2.2 KB)
AFAIK a MEH key is shift-ctrl-option as I wrote. The reason I want the right command key to act like this with these modifier keys is that I'm running out of (logical) key combo's for apps like Raycast with the single modifier key options. So this way I can have a Hyperkey with the caps lock and a MEH key with the (by me) unused right command key. Not both or the left.
I hope this clarifies it.
I can easily solve this with the app Superkey or Karabiner, but I'd hoped to diminish the amount of apps running in the background.
Sure, I understand that. 
So, if it has to be option instead of cmd, then you probably have to remap r cmd to opt with BTT and add the missing modifiers virtually. I think that should work, but I've never done that.
Thanks I'll try that and otherwise I'll stick to Superkey. Have a great new Years Eve!
