To overcome an issue with Karabiner-Elements where keys would seemingly get stuck and start repeating at unexpected times, jasonrudolph/keyboard v4.0.0 removed the dependency on Karabiner-Elements and implemented Hyper Mode via Hammerspoon.

Due to differences in the abilities of Karabiner-Elements and Hammerspoon, implementing Hyper Mode via Hammerspoon required a slight reduction in the ease of activating Hyper Mode. That slightly degraded user experience was a reasonable compromise to overcome the bug in Karabiner-Elements, but now that the Karabiner-Elements bug is resolved, jasonrudolph/keyboard v5.0.0 restores Hyper Mode's previous (faster, more pleasant) user experience. 😅

For full details on Hyper Mode and its usage, check out the README.
