Seil For Mac

Seil is a straightforward Mac OS X application specially designed to help you change the default function of the Caps Lock key to another key.

What is more, CapsLock helps you remap various keys, as well as keys on non-apple keyboards, change the key code of the keys on SteelSeries Apex Gamin Keyboard and enable the NFER, XFER or KATAKANA key on the PC keyboard.

It is recommended to access the Keyboard panel under the System Preferences and select the “No Action” option for the Caps Lock key via the Modifiers Keys slide sheet. By changing these settings you can significantly reduce the Caps Lock delay while performing the desired action.

From Seil’s main window you can change the Caps Lock key’s code to any given code with just a few keystrokes and mouse clicks. Fortunately, Seil offers a list with most popular key codes for the Delete, Escape, Return, Tab, Fn, Command, Shift, media keys, as well as various system actions such as Dashboard, Launchpad or Exposé.

In addition to remapping the Caps Lock key, Exposé also offers you the option to remap the Command, Option, Delete, Escape, Return, Space and Tab keys as well.

If you are using a non-Apple keyboard, you’ll be happy to know that you can enable that application, international and LANG keys with ease.

Seil comes with a simple and user-oriented interface that helps you perform the desired changed and modifications with ease. We would have liked Seil even more if it allowed us to modify any given key in addition to the supported modifiers.

To summarize it all, if you need to change the key code of the Caps Lock key or any other key on your keyboard, then Seil is the application you want to have installed on your Mac.
