Installation

Prerequisite: Windows 10 or 11, local admin rights

Vista, Win7 and higher should work (? I can't test it),
XP does not work.

download the latest capsicain.zip here: https://github.com/cajhin/capsicain/releases
extract to any folder you like. You can move it anytime; there are no registry entries for Capsicain.
if it is not in the .zip file, get the Interception installer from here:
https://github.com/oblitum/Interception
open an Administrator dosbox (Start menu > type 'cmd' > right-click on Command prompt > select 'Run as administrator'
navigate to the Interception installer folder (like cd "c:\my stuff\interception")
install-interception /install
(note: you can uninstall with install-interception /uninstall)
reboot
start capsicain.exe

Out of the box this will use the default capsicain.ini. That's my own ini, and it's quite complex.

To test that it works, press (for example) Alt+J K L for \{} or CapsLock+J K L for 'cursor left down right'.

If you cannot minimize capsicain to the tray in Windows 11, or if you run into other problems, check
X doesn't work
