> The one thing I really can't stand about macOS is "Secure Input". It won't let you use something like TE or KM to input a password.

It actually will. The problem is that when secure input is enabled, you can’t trigger a macro from the keyboard, because the daemon isn’t allowed to intercept keystrokes. But if you can trigger the macro some other way, like through a mouse button or a MIDI message, keystrokes can be sent just fine, even into a password field.

Yeah hammerspoon seems a lot more capable.

I wrote two articles on using global hotkeys with hammerspoon:

One think you can even do is detect which devices are being used and handle shortcuts differently. You can write a full on workflow that can be triggered with a keyboard shortcut if you’re using hammerspoon.

I recently switched from a homecooked keyboard "expansion" plugin to using Espanso but it can do that as well!

I like to see your config written in fennel. Have you checked out spacehammer? It’s a config for hammerspoon written in fennel that (mostly) gives you a nested modal hidden behind a prefix that lets you make nested hotkeys.
