Karabiner-Elements: A Powerful and Flexible Utility for Keyboard Remapping on Mac OS Sierra



If you're not confident at your ability to hand-merge JSON like this, and don't need anything from Elements other than the basic defaults, plus Hyper, feel free to grab my config and drop it in /.config/karabiner/.




Karabiner For Mac Os Sierra




Jess, I started using karabiner-elements after getting a new Macbook with Sierra. You might check that out. I was using Karabiner/Seil prior to this and didn't even know the multiple bindings for the same key was possible.


Thanks! I tried it now, unfortunately the workflow messes up the karabiner.json file for me (which in my system was at '/.karabiner.d/configuration/karabiner.json' so I changed this in your workflow scripts), it changes the selected: truefalse attributes correctly but the lines in the file are shifted around in a seemingly random manner. My karabiner.json file is similar to the sample file you show at Packal. Any thoughts what may be causing this (macOS 10.12.2, Alfred 3.2.1)?


The script should not touch `/.karabiner.d/configuration/karabiner.json`. It's written to work only with `/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json` path, which I believe is the right one in the latest Karabiner Elements.


The fresh macOS Sierra rewrite of the original Karabiner, the Karabiner Elements qietly supports multiple profiles, which has been one of the core features, historically speaking. Although, as of now, you can define multiple profiles in the /.config/karabiner/karabiner.json file, but you can't switch between them easily. This is an important features for people that regularly switch between internal / Apple keyboard and an external USB one, which usually have different layout, hence the need for 2+ profiles.


After saving your JSON file to /.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications, in Karabiner go to the Complex Modifications tab, click Add Rule, and now the just installed rule should be listed there. Select it and click Enable, as shown in the following screenshots:


download karabiner on your Mac, it's a key remapping software that actually lets you create shortcuts for windows keys that WILL wok in Citrix. I used to to set F13 on my keypad as INSERT that's the link to download.


@starservco I have karabiner-elements, and am on Citrix Workspace for MacOS 10.12 Sierra. I am unable to determine how to send the Windows key to be used for shortcuts that employ the use of the Windows key. It's simple enough to swap the cmd and ctrl keys. But the option key doesn't seem to do anything no matter what key configuration options I set in Citrix preferences. Have you figured out how to simply send all modifier keys from the keyboard as they would be sent with Remote Desktop Client? I was using that previously, and had it all working great. But it seems Citrix forces its own keyboard modifier implementation that won't allow me to use all of the modifier keys, which I desperately need to do for the audio apps I'm using. 2ff7e9595c
