Remapping a mac keyboard for windows user In my quest to make this macbook air into a usable machine: Karabiner-Elements
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/10
I am still a bit ambivalent on remapping keys on a keyboard, mainly because of two reasons:
- Without remapping, tools used for virtualisation, remote access and shells already get it wrong every now and then. Finding causes is already tough, so adding more degrees of freedom complicates this more.
- Switching systems or assisting people without the tools can be cumbersome. I vividly remember the really hard times when I had switched from Windows Explorer to Windows Commander (now Total Commander) and could not use it on a sequence of contracting jobs.
Just in case I am going to use it:
- It has an uninstaller!
- It is open source: [WayBack] GitHub – tekezo/Karabiner-Elements: Karabiner-Elements is a powerful utility for keyboard customization on macOS Sierra (10.12) or later. which taught me how git robots can be configured:
- [WayBack] Karabiner-Elements/stale.yml at master · tekezo/Karabiner-Elements · GitHub
- [WayBack] GitHub – probot/stale: automatically close stale Issues and Pull Requests
- [WayBack] Stale | Probot Close stale Issues and Pull Requests
- Before the rewrite it was called Karabiner and KeyRemap4MacBook; old versions are still available when writing this:
-
- Download from [WayBack] Karabiner – Software for macOS, or install via
$ brew install caskroom/cask/karabiner(both need the root/administrator password as they hook deeply in your machine).
