![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I only messed with single devices - external keyboards - mainly because I wanted to leave my laptop keyboard unmodified so I could re-type my password in case I accidentally left a profile on and locked the screen. You have the choice to modify all devices (choose “For all devices”) or a single device. You can configure a Complex Modification to select a profile with keypresses (more about this in later sections).To start, I opted to make a new profile and leave Default alone.See Confirm the result of configuration (EventViewer). Log tab: Very useful for debugging - you can see the output of your shell commands (discussed later)Īlso for debugging, Karabiner-EventViewer.app shows exactly what keyboard and mouse events are being registered in real time.To do anything slightly complicated, you’ll need to edit the ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json file.Devices tab: Manipulate caps lock LED on for whichever devices I want to modify.UI tab: I opted to put both the icon and profile name in the menu bar.Carefully follow the installation instructions to make sure permissions are enabled (otherwise the app won’t work at all!).Installation, Configuring, and Debugging in Karabiner-Elements The aims of this post are 1) to share my research, joys, and struggles using Karabiner-Elements and 2) to share my karabiner config which has multi-profile support and utilizes karabiner.ts. So, I was excited to discover Karabiner-Elements - free Mac software that allows you to do key remapping, control the mouse with the keyboard, run terminal commands, and much more. I want to minimize chording (simultaneous keypresses) and mouse use to reduce pain in my hands, put keys I use more often in more advantageous places, automate repetitive activities, etc. I’ve been on a quest to make typing more ergonomic and functional.
