Remap or swap any key
Any key to any other, both ways at once if you like. Left and right Command, Option, Control and Shift are separate keys.
Every key, click and gesture. Your way.
What Clavimo does today, and what comes next. Everything here is free.
Keyboard
Caps Lock that pulls its weight
Escape when tapped, Control or Hyper (⌃⌥⇧⌘) when held, Caps Lock on a double tap.
Tap or hold
Every key can do one thing when tapped and another when held, with an optional double tap. Modifier keys can get a tap of their own.
Home row modifiers without misfires
Hold A S D F or J K L ; for ⌘ ⌥ ⌃ ⇧. Same-hand rolls and fast typing always type letters.
Layers
Hold or switch on a layer and keys do something else: arrows under your right hand, a number pad, app shortcuts. The menu bar shows the active layer.
Combos
Press two or three keys at the same moment for something else, such as J + K for Escape.
Leader key sequences
Tap a leader key, then type a short sequence. A panel shows what can come next.
One-shot modifiers
Tap a key for a modifier that applies to the next key only.
Rules per keyboard layout
Limit keyboard rules to a layout or input method, for example only while Polish or Japanese is selected.
Says why keys pause
When a password field turns on secure typing, Clavimo tells you which app did it instead of silently stopping.
Mouse
Key + mouse button
Hold a modifier or a letter and click to run any action. Ordinary clicks never change.
Mouse wheel your way
Reverse it without touching the trackpad, scroll by lines or pixels, accelerate it, or glide each notch smoothly.
Side buttons on their own
Buttons 3, 4, 5 and up can run any action by themselves, without holding a modifier.
Settings per mouse
Different scrolling and pointer settings for every mouse and trackpad.
Pointer acceleration curve
Turn acceleration off per mouse or draw your own curve, with working speed for newer trackpads.
Precision mode
Hold a key or button to slow the pointer down for pixel-perfect work, or speed it up.
Modifier + wheel
Zoom, scroll sideways, fast or precisely while holding a key, per app.
Mouse button gestures
Hold any button and drag in four directions for Spaces, Mission Control or any action.
Click, hold, double click, chords
One button can do three things, and two buttons pressed together a fourth, with no added delay.
Autoscroll and drag to pan
Middle-click and move to scroll, or drag to pan like a hand tool, with momentum for the wheel.
Cursor actions
Move the pointer to another display and add resistance at screen edges.
Logitech buttons without Options+
Thumb and gesture buttons, buttons 6 and 7, the side wheel, DPI, SmartShift and battery level.
Trackpad
Trackpad taps and swipes
Taps with two to five fingers, tip taps and swipes with three to five fingers, also with a held key.
Multi-finger and corner clicks
Clicks with three to five fingers, or in a corner, run an action instead.
Trackpad scrolling of its own
Direction per axis, speed and momentum, separately from the mouse wheel.
Live gesture preview
See your fingers and the gesture Clavimo recognizes before you rely on it.
Pinch with any number of fingers
Pinch in or out with two to five fingers to run actions.
Turn two fingers like a knob
Turn clockwise or counterclockwise for any action, repeated every 15 degrees: volume and brightness change smoothly, and the page does not scroll meanwhile.
Different jobs on each half
Give the same gesture another action on the left, right, top or bottom half of the trackpad or in a corner, such as volume in one corner and brightness in another.
Force click with several fingers
Force clicks per finger count and in corners on Force Touch trackpads.
Edge swipes and long presses
Swipes that start at an edge and holds with several fingers.
Magic Mouse gestures
Taps and swipes on the Magic Mouse surface.
Haptic confirmation
A subtle click from the trackpad when a gesture is recognized.
Drawn gestures
Draw letters and shapes with one or more fingers, including your own recorded ones.
Actions and windows
Actions for every trigger
Spaces, Mission Control, any keyboard shortcut, clicks, opening apps and media keys.
Action compass
Hold a key or mouse button and move towards one of eight actions around the pointer; let go and it runs, no aiming needed. Pages per app, nested compasses, templates.
Any menu item as an action
Choose an item from an app's menus, even one without a shortcut, and run it from a key, a button, a gesture or the compass.
Window snapping
Halves, quarters, thirds, center and the next display, from a key, a gesture or a button.

Privacy and safety

Free and open source
MIT licensed, built in the open on GitHub.
