Keyboard Cowboy can detect the Ctrl, Option, Command, and other keys, but it does not recognize the Hyper key sent by Hyperkey.
It's unclear whether this is expected behavior.
However, I believe it would be beneficial to enable the use of the Hyper key for certain actions, possibly in combination with Raycast or another tool.

My hyperkey config :

@leodbrs oh, I haven't tried hyper key before. Might want to check this out.
Just out of curiosity, in which order do you open the apps.
If hyper key uses the same kind of event listening as Keyboard Cowboy, it might just be that hyper key consumes the event before KC gets a chance. Perhaps that would be one place to start?

@leodbrs and it work with Karabiner-Elements implementations (I using Space as Hyperkey if pressed with others and post Space if alone)

Hi, thank for reply.

My open apps order is:

In the reverse order, KC detects the keybind when I try to record it, but nothing happens when I use the keybind.
