You can reproduce this by executing open '/Applications/Firefox Developer Edition.app' and pressing Alt immediately before Firefox launches. After some research, I came to know that pressing Alt while opening Firefox signals it to open in Safe Mode. All I got was this:įirefox was trying to start in Safe Mode. I added an skhd configuration like this: hyper - b : open '/Applications/Firefox Developer Edition.app'īut it didn't work as expected. I am a Firefox user so I wanted to open Firefox whenever I press Hyper + B. I wanted to set up some hotkeys to open applications that I frquently use like Terminal and Browser. Basically, if I press Caps Lock + it will be converted to Shift + Alt + Command + Control +. Hyper key simply produces the effect of Shift + Alt + Command + Control. I have set up Caps Lock as a Hyper key using Karabiner elements and dedicated it for yabai + skhd. Recently I started using yabai + skhd for window management in OS X.
