Thanks for such a great tool, but is it possible to write a rule to exchange modifier keys in a specific application?

Bépo/TypeMatrix 2030 USB

Hi there, first of all thanks for what you do.
I'm pretty new on Mac and i'm not a big fan of the iKeyboard, but my Bépo Typematrix 2030 keyboard, loose all its perks on MacOS without Karabiner support( cut/copy/paste on fn combination for the most part…).
It seems that it was supported on previous Karabiner version.
Do you think it will be again ? 
Thanks.

Issue with complex modification for left shift + right shift = caps_lock

On OS X El Capitan with karabiner-elements version 0.91.13, when I use the rule for KE-complex_modifications/src/json/shift_lr_to_caps.json.erb, pressing both shift keys turns on the caps_lock as expected. But pressing both keys again, doesn't turn off caps lock. I am not sure if its a bug or the expected behaviour, or just an issue with El Capitan.

I have been using karabiner for around 2 years. Not upgrading OS due to missing features in karabiner elements. I have been following the progress of karabiner elements, however. Thanks for everyone's effort. I might upgrade OS, once it has the features I require.

Karabiner-Elements Breaks Ctrl-Esc?

I've mapped Ctrl-Esc in MacOS' System Preferences to open Launchpad, and it works - until I open Karabiner Elements. Even with NO MAPPINGS enabled, Karabiner Elements prevents the Ctrl-Esc keyboard shortcut from opening Launchpad.

Any idea why?

Can't make the "to_if_alone" work

I tried the escape complex rule, and also one on my own:

{
  "title": "Capslock fine tunning",
  "rules": [
    {
      "description": "Capslock: Maps capslock to ctrl_r except on Maltron/Ergotron",
      "manipulators": [
        {
          "conditions": [

              "type": "device_unless",
              "identifiers": [
                {
                  "vendor_id": 1240
                },
                {
                  "vendor_id": 7504
                }
              ]
            }
          ],
          "type": "basic",
          "from": {
            "key_code": "caps_lock",
            "modifiers": {
              "optional": [
                "any"
              ]
            }
          },
          "to": [
            {
              "key_code": "right_control"
            }
          ],
          "to_if_alone": [
            {
              "key_code": "escape"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

In both cases, nothing happened.

Any pointer?

Is there a good reason PC style Home/end is conspiquously missing?

Could you please add this complex modification rule: https://www.marenauta.com/command_arrows_to_option_arrows.json to the page https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/complex_modifications/

Can you map to a key sequence?

IE can I map

[
  from: { 
    key_code: k ... modifiers: ctrl
  }, 
  to: {
    sequence: [ { key_code: right_arrow ... modifiers: cmd, shift}, {key_code: delete} ] 
  }
]

Mod request: App specific: Switch Cmd and Ctrl in VMWare/VirtualBox.

I believe the title covers it.

caps to fn

i tried to put the fn key on caps but its not working

any known problem?

Refactor or organize index.html.erb

Our listing of mappings is getting quite long. I suggest we refactor it so that json files can be grouped and collapsed. That will allow for a bit better organization.

How to use the setting "lazy: true" ?

There is a setting "lazy": true on line 264 of 'https://github.com/pqrs-org/KE-complex_modifications/blob/master/src/json/personal_tekezo.json.erb'. In what case should this "lazy": true setting be used?
I tried and tried to find out how to use the setting "lazy": true, but I could not grasp the details.
Does anyone know how to use the setting "lazy": true ?

How do I set tab navigation in apps from CMD-J/K to just J/K or just Q/W?

I am using https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/complex_modifications/#personal_settings (by @apm1467).

I wanted to map Vi like navigation w/o any modifier key - preferably just Q and W or any two adjacent keys. Can it be done? If so, how should I go about it?

Sticky key

Hello, I wonder if it's possible to configure kind of sticky key. For example, I wan't to press F13, release it and treat any key pressed after F13 release in a special way.

Thus, I can press two keys each after another, not simultaneously.

In the classic Karabiner era I used the following config for that purpose:

  <item>
    <name>Command Mode</name>
    <appendix>Enable by pressing F13</appendix>
    <identifier>private.command_mode</identifier>

    <autogen>__KeyToKey__
      KeyCode::F13, KeyCode::VK_STICKY_COMMAND_MODE
    </autogen>
  </item>

Is it possible to achieve the same behaviour with Karabiner Elements?

switch language with Option+Shift or Cmd+Shift

Is it possible?

Omit specified apps from complex modifications or KE as a whole?

I have simple modifications working to swap fn and left_control, and then I have complex modifications to change left_control to left_command in some situations like left_control + c (trying to emulate windows).

In the old Karabiner, these rules omitted the terminal app because ctrl + c was required to break out of a running process, now these key swaps are OS wide. Any way to omit the Terminal.app?

F keys or touchbar does not work

I have this complex mapping:

{
      "description": "Change F6 to Left_command + L",
      "manipulators": [
        {
          "from": {
            "key_code": "f6",
            "modifiers": {
              "optional": [
                "any"
              ]
            }
          },
          "to": [
            {
              "key_code": "l",
              "modifiers": [
                "left_command"
              ]
            }
          ],
          "to_if_alone": [
            {
              "key_code": "l",
              "modifiers": [
                "left_command"
              ]
            }
          ],
          "type": "basic"
        }
      ]
    }

When pressing F6, it should trigger cmd + L (this is to select input bars like the url bar in chrome browser), but doesn't.

Suggestion: Adding a simpler (and more logical) way to define device-specific complex modifications

As of 0.91.13, device-specific complex modifications can be defined by using the device_if or device_unless condition types as shown here. While you can define device-specific simple modifications in a device object, currently, complex_modifications key:value settings are only recognized on the root level of a profile.
(i.e.,"profiles": [ { "complex_modifications": { ... } } ])

For example, the following will not work:

"devices": [
  {
    "disable_built_in_keyboard_if_exists": false,
    "fn_function_keys": {},
    "identifiers": {
      "is_keyboard": true,
      "is_pointing_device": false,
      "product_id": 50475,
      "vendor_id": 1133
    },
    "ignore": false,
    "simple_modifications": {},
    "complex_modifications": { ... } 
  }
]

The ellipsis (...) is not literal, i.e., the actual JSON for the complex modification(s) is left out.

Adding complex_modifications support in device objects seems logical, and makes for a more convenient way to add device-specific complex modifications. Please add this support in the next release.

How can I map Key+Click combos?

I'm trying to created a complex modification for Safari that remaps a Ctrl-Click to a Command-Click. I can create a modification that simply remaps left-control to left-command, and that works - but then of course it interferes with other shortcuts, like Ctrl-W, Ctrl-Tab, etc. I CAN create additional modifications for each of those shortcuts, but that's a bit of a pain. I've tried utilizing the "to_if_alone" mapping option, but it appears to do nothing (I'm guessing because the Ctrl-CLICK is recognized as "not alone"). Is there another option I can use to only map keys when used in conjunction with a mouse click?

Layers similar to Pok3r's

Is it possible or can someone point me in the right direction as to implementing something similar to a custom (without modifiers) layer?

I'd like to be able to implement something like a customisable caps-lock/layer/mode (e.g., when on, have arrow keys or "numpad" [or whatever] available without having to press a modifier).

Vortex Pok3er Media Controls not for Vortex Core?

Hoped that the Media Keys for the Pok3r would also work with the Vortex Core (some manufacturer etc.) which isn't the case. Is this intended and might a small change activate my beloved media keys on my Core again?

Noob question: How do I make custom rules show up in Karabiner?

I put my modified .json file in the local assets/complex_modifications folder. Now how do I get my rules to show up? The Github page says something about updating within KE's preferences, but I don't find any update button for rules (I remember that feature in Karabiner). Am I blind or have I fundamentally misunderstood something? Feeling pretty dumb right now ...

Request: PC Style Shift-Home/End Selection Behavior

Would it be possible to get an entry added for these:

• Shift-End => Shift-Command-Right Arrow

Thank you!

Use shift to select text in Vi mode

Is there a way to have the Vi mode complex modifiers be used to select text while shift is held down? For example, I would love to be able to press ⌃+⇧+h to select the character to the left, like pressing shift and the left arrow key does. Being able to hold ⇧+⌥+h to select all the preceding characters in the current word and ⇧+fn+h to select the preceding characters in the paragraph like ⇧+⌥+← and ⇧+fn+← do respectively would make this even better. Thanks!

Can't see how to import ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/swapukus.json

I can't see a key to import complex configs anywhere in preferences - which screen should it appear on?

I also can't see a comment in the log that it's looking in there for files at start-up.

grave_accent_and_tilde with modifier"shift" doesn't function properly

I try to map "shift + escape" to "~", my json file is as follows:

{
      "description": "Change shift + esc to ~",
      "manipulators": [
        {
          "type": "basic",
          "from": {
            "key_code": "escape",
            "modifiers": { "mandatory": [ "left_shift" ] }
          },
          "to": [
            {
              "key_code": "grave_accent_and_tilde",
              "modifiers":{
                "mandatory":[ "left_shift" ]
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }

However, I got "`" character instead of "~" when I type esc with shift :(
It seems that it's half mapped...

Matias Ergo Pro: Change right Home/End keys to Right Option

So the Matias Ergo Pro keyboard is missing a right option key. This bugs me because I often use the option key to type åøæ when typing Norwegian, as this saves me having to switch keyboard layouts. How would I go about setting up this mapping?

They all work except the ctrl + shift + t mod "Change Shift + Left_control + T to Shift + Left_command + T".

This is to re-open tabs in apps that support this feature i.e. chrome browser.

It doesn't trigger when I press the key combination, but when I let go of just shift (while keeping the other two keys pressed), it triggers. I thought that maybe it was conflicting with the ctrl + t key so I removed that but same behaviour occurs.

Volume buttons to Opt Shift Volume (fine volume control)?

I'm not able to make this work. I'm a noob, and there is no precise easy-to-follow guide on how to make my own complex modifications. So I probably did something wrong.

Goal is to have fine Volume controls without needing to press Option and Shift as well. I was surprised there isn't a ready model for this, as I've wanted this for years! Can it be done?

What is key name definition for `§, ±` key?

On British English keyboard I have key §, ± in place of ` key of US English
What is name definition of this key?

Can I map shift-command to command (without shift)?

When in terminal I have command be control, but want the usual command keys to be available if I add shift.

My muscle memory thanks you!

Single key to keystroke not releasing keystroke

I'm trying to make a new complex modification for changing a single key (insert) into a keystroke (option + esc). When I press insert, it's as if I never "let go" of option. See Event Viewer snippets below.

This really feels like I'm not writing the json correctly, as opposed to a bug. It's my first time writing a complex modification, so Occam's Razor suggests PEBKAC ;)

Condition checking if USB keyboard plugged in

In KE there's an option to disable built-in keyboard when a USB keyboard is attached. What I would like to do is to be able to use this detection to do a key swap. Is such a condition supported?

Will Karabiner-Elements supports "Change fn key" to Hyper key like "Change caps_lock key"

Karabiner can change fn key to Hyper key - command+control+option+shift, just like "Change caps_lock key", will Karabiner-Elements support this feature?

How to I map home/end/pageup/pagedown to combos?

I'd like to add the following maps to Karabiner Elements, but I'm not clear how to do it.

Home - Command-C
End - Command-V
PageUp - Command-Alt-Shift-V
PageDn - Command-Shift-V

The simple modifications only lets me add one key, and the complex modifications only lets me download existing rules. How Do I create those mappings? I see in the docs for Karabiner about private.xml, but that doesn't seem to be in Karabiner Elements. Thanks.

Newbie need some help to bind key to shift+key

Hello, excuse me for being a complete noob I tried to understand somehow the Wiki to bind this but can't find the good rule so if someone can help please. I have a german keyboard on a Macbook Air and in brief I would like to change ß by ? but also # by ' . So from what I understood in the key definitions and the codes :

• To have ß I press key name "hyphens" or "capslock+hyphens"
• To have ? I press "shift+hyphens"
• To have # I press key name "backslash" or "capslock+backslash"
• To have ' I press "shift+backslash"

I was thinking if someone can create a rule to change :

• "hyphens" and "capslock+hyphens" to "shift+hyphens" therefore "shift+hyphens" to "hyphens"
• "backslash" and "capslock+backslash" to "shift+backslash" therefore "shift+backslash" to "backslash"

Thanks a lot !

Overrides for more of the macOS emac-like keys?

I.E. ctrl-e/ctrl-a/ctrl-k being overridden system wide to always force move-to-end/move-to-start/delete-to-end? I hate how some applications (anything Microsoft/Anki/many webpages) override these I'm trying to figure out a way to overrule them.

How to add lang specific combinations?

e.g. when remap one key only for specific (non-english) lang.

Karabiner Elements vs. the Play Button (F8)

Hi guys,

First of all I'd like to thank you for your work!

I would like to use Karabiner-Elements to fix an issue of Mac OS that I really hate. Long story short, I want the three keys Play (F8), Preview (F7), and Next (F9) to work only in Spotify, no matter the frontmost app.

I decomposed my problem in these four steps:

1. Stop launching iTunes automatically when pressing the Play Button (F8) while in the Finder (or also in other apps);

2. Disable Play (F8), Preview (F7), and Next (F9) keys in iTunes;

3. Disable the Play Button (F8) in Apple Keynote (by default it will start the presentation);

4. Forward the Play Button (F8) from Apple Keynote—or other apps—to Spotify.

I managed to solve points 2. and 3. by adding two complex modifications in karabiner.json to replace the respective key with vk_none . It follows a sample condition:

{
    "conditions": [
        {
            "bundle_identifiers": [
                "^com\\.apple\\.iTunes$"
            ],
            "type": "frontmost_application_if"
        }
    ],
    "from": {
        "key_code": "f8",
        "modifiers": {
            "optional": [
                "any"
            ]
        }
    },
    "to": [
        {
            "key_code": "vk_none"
        }
    ],
    "type": "basic"
}

However, I would be super happy if you could kindly help me in points 1 and 4.

Thank you very much in advance for your help, and please keep up the good work!

Roberto

P.s. I attach my karabiner.json for further reference.

Can you please help me bind the help key

In events view, my help key produces

eventType:KeyDown         code:0x72       name:help            flags:Fn                                 misc:
eventType:KeyUp           code:0x72       name:help            flags:Fn                                 misc:

so, I made the following rule

{
          "type": "basic",
          "from": {
            "key_code": "help",
            "modifiers": {
              "mandatory": [
                "Fn"
              ]
            }
          },
          "to": [
            {
              "key_code": "play_or_pause",
            }
          ]
        }

But it doesn't seem to work, regardless of whether i include the fn flag or not. Can ya point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Neo2 bindings only work for internal keyboard

I have an external keyboard attached to my mac (Matias Ergo Pro). I used to use https://github.com/jgosmann/Karabiner-Elements-Neo on 10.11 which worked perfectly. I had to update to 10.13 for unrelated reasons and found that the fork is no longer maintained.

Unfortunately, the new blessed way only works for my internal keyboard, but not for the externally attached one.

@jgosmann I see you just freshly created the Neo2 files in this repository - thanks for working on this! Can I provide any more information to debug the issue at hand?
