How I use Karabiner to remap my Mac keyboard
· 20 min read
A couple of months ago, I got a MacBook Pro. The first thing I need to do is to
remap the keyboard,
just like what did I with my Ubuntu laptop using keyd.
Once again, I realize the CapsLock is not useful enough for it to earn this
precious place. I keep accidentally pressing the CapsLock key, thinking it
will work like a Control key in Windows/Ubuntu. This post is about how I try
to replicate the setup I had in keyd to Mac with
Karabiner-Elements. I will show you how
to
- Create custom forward delete
- Using
z + h/j/k/las arrows - Switch between chosen apps with
z + <number> - Make
CapsLockuseful again by mapping it to multiple modifier keys, etc.
Spoiler, I underestimated the complexity it can get.
