This also allows for the ability to trigger a manual reload of the config file by invoking `skhd --reload` at any time while an instance of **skhd** is running. The pid-file is saved as `/tmp/skhd_$USER.pid` and so the user that is running **skhd** must have write permission to said path. -feature comparison between **skhd** and **khd** - -| feature | skhd | khd | -|:--------------------------:|:----:|:---:| -| hotload config file | [x] | [ ] | -| hotkey passthrough | [x] | [x] | -| modal hotkey-system | [x] | [x] | -| application specific hotkey| [x] | [x] | -| blacklist applications | [x] | [ ] | -| use media-keys as hotkey | [x] | [ ] | -| modifier only hotkey | [ ] | [x] | -| caps-lock as hotkey | [ ] | [x] | -| mouse-buttons as hotkey | [ ] | [x] | +list of features + +| feature | skhd | +|:--------------------------:|:----:| +| hotload config file | [x] | +| hotkey passthrough | [x] | +| modal hotkey-system | [x] | +| application specific hotkey| [x] | +| blacklist applications | [x] | +| use media-keys as hotkey | [x] | +| synthesize a key-press | [x] | ### Install |
