My favorite Hammerspoon use is binding applications to hotkeys, e.g. Ctrl-3 for editor, Ctrl-4 for terminal, Ctrl-5 for browser, etc. It is so much faster going directly to an app than cycling through the apps in the alt-tab switcher.

Additionally, I use it to bind caps lock to escape, unless it’s pressed with another key, in which case it’s curl. So it’s great to not need Karabiner anymore.

In linux and windows you can just use the superkey+1, 2, etc. I'm surprised macos doesn't have the equivalent to this built in.
