How to remap the F4 key to Launchpad from Spotlight automatically on start

Receipt:
Place code below to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.local.KeyRemapping.plist, if file not exist's you should create it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.local.KeyRemapping</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/bin/hidutil</string> <string>property</string> <string>--set</string> <string>{"UserKeyMapping":[ { "HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc": 0xC00000221, "HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst": 0x0C000002A2 } ]}</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Restart your Mac and enjoy it!
