That is useful information. The 'hyper key is certainly overlooked and
provides a very useful mechanism to create a whole set of new, possibly
short, key bindings. I like the idea of re-tasking the right hand
command/option keys as it is very rare I use them (command/option is
most used via left hand side for me).
