@daanodinot Hard to say without knowing more about the specific scenario. There are no obvious few 100ms delays that I know of! Maybe email me support at redsweater.com and include some more details about how you're measuring, and I'll have some more questions about figuring it out.

@daanodinot Unfortunately the Caps Lock key doesn't behave like most other keys so the mechanism that FastScripts uses to capture keystrokes and register for them doesn't work with it. I think you might be able to use the excellent @keyboardmaestro to achieve this with a "device key" trigger

A question especially for FastScripts users who ALSO use Shortcuts: what Shortcuts actions would you most like to see exposed from FastScripts? Where can we make the most impact as we develop these automation points?
