Thanks for posting this!
Do you think it's possible to map hyper to cmd+shift+alt+option without going through right-option?

The reason I am asking, currently arrow keys + hyper is mapped as shortcut to manage windows around. With this modification within other apps it is simple detected as option and not cmd+shift+alt+option.
