 It really depends on how long you tend to keep certain files in your system.

+It really depends on how long you tend to keep certain files in your system.
+
+I wanted to automate the emptying of the trash.
+
+I don't want to use the mouse each time because keyboard shortcuts tend to be quicker.
+
+So ultimately, I want to be able to use the keyboard and "map" to a command that does this.
 
 Sounds simple right?
 
-In terminal, emptying the trash looks like this:
+First step was to work out in terminal how to do this.
+
+
+Found out you'd type a command like this to  get it done:
 
 `rm -rf ~/.Trash/*`
 
-I don't want to type this everytime in terminal, so I created an alias.
+I definitely don't want to type this every time in terminal. 
+
+Thats multiple keystrokes - the antithesis of what I want to achieve, so I created an alias.
+
+In `~/.bash_profile` this line exists:
 
 `alias trash="rm -rf ~/.Trash/*`
 
-Aliases are cool but this still requires me to be in the terminal. 
+This is closer, it maps the word trash to the command for emptying the trash.
+
+While aliases are cool, this still requires me to be in the terminal. 
+
+& I'm not always in the terminal.
 
-I'm not always in the terminal.
+Enter [Hammerspoon](http://www.hammerspoon.org/). Feel free to check that out. 
 
-Enter hammerspoon.
+In my Hammerspoon config, lives a little bit of Lua _which kinda looks like JS_ code that looks like this:
 
 ```
 hs.hotkey.bind(hyper, 'E', function()
   hs.execute('trash', true)
 end)
 ```
 
-`hyper` is a variable that simulates pressing CMD + SHIFT + ALT + SHIFT.
-Google on how to set that up if you haven't done it already.
+`hyper` is a variable I set higher in the config that simulates pressing the keys  `CMD + SHIFT + ALT + SHIFT` together.
+
+Do enough research on Hammerspoon, and you'd end up understanding why this type of thing is helpful.
+
+[Hint, it has something to do with keyboard automation](https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/).
 
-So I'm binding to the letter E to be able to execute a terminal command.
+I use the Caps Lock key to simulate pressing all those buttons.
 
-The terminal command being the alias to the terminal command.
+After reloading the config, I can now press CAPS LOCK + E to execute the terminal command `trash` but without being in the terminal & this will empty my trash.
 
-As long as my bash profile is in tact, simply press CAPS LOCK + E and empty my trash.
+Mission achieved.
