Herdr + Capslock-as-Hyper: Spacemacs-style modifier, vim-flavored verbs

Herdr + Hyper-key: Spacemacs-flavored, vim verbs

I love herdr but the default tmux-style prefix navigation (tap prefix, release, tap key) means cycling through tabs/workspaces requires repeatedly tapping the prefix. Annoying.

Fix: turn Capslock into a Hyper key (Ctrl+Opt+Cmd) via Karabiner-Elements, then bind every herdr action to a Ctrl+Opt+Cmd+letter chord. Now I just hold Capslock and tap. Hold-and-cycle Just Works because each tap is a fresh chord the terminal sees in full.
