A light and flexible application that enables you to remap the CapsLock key and modify various other keys to perform certain actions
Unicomp is a computer keyboard developer and manufacturer located in the heart of Bluegrass Country, Lexington, Kentucky. We are a small business. We manufacture our products in Kentucky. So what is the keyboard hack we talked about? By simply installing a Russian keyboard layout in Windows, research has shown that when hitting a PC with malware, the trojan carrier will not deploy its payload once it checks the PC’s locale. It’s akin to being vaccinated against Russian malware attacks.
What's new in Seil 12.1.0:
- 'Resume at login' setting has been added.
- You can disable auto resume function.
- The physical forward delete key has been added into the changeable keys.
- The behavior of starting Seil on system startup has been improved.
Read the full changelog 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.
Quickly remap the CapsLock key using key codes
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.
Assign new actions and key codes to the Command, Option and Shift keys
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.
Helps you remap keys on non-Apple keyboards
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.

#Vaccinate your PC with this anti-malware keyboard hack!
Pc Keyboard Hack Mac Os
Cybercriminals from the Eastern European block mostly attack PCs running on the Windows OS. Both long-standing and zero day vulnerabilities make Windows a static target for the skilled yet malicious hackers that reside in Russia.
Operating from predominantly Russian-speaking countries such as Russia, Ukraine, and former USSR “satellite” states such as Azerbaijan, Belarus, and Georgia, the hackers seem to avoid installing their payload if the targeted PC appears to be using a Russian keyboard layout.
Quite often, domain investors have lost their domains to cybercriminals in Russia that compromised their PCs or laptops.
