#karabiner — Public Fediverse posts

One of the big drawbacks of buying a #Macbook instead of a #Thinkpad/#Framework laptop is that if a key breaks on your laptop you are kinda screwed or rather you are looking at a rather huge bill.

So this is the punishment for being too lazy to maintain #Linux and opting for #OSX.

At any rate now using an external keyboard and when that isn't practical #Karabiner to the rescue using the "fn" key as modifier to double up some still working keys.

Er is een fabricagefout vastgesteld bij vier typen karabiner, waardoor er risico is op (dodelijk) letsel.

Naturally, while I am trying to persuade Github to run #IllumOS, I have an IllumOS VM here that I can try stuff out on before sending changes to Github. Something about the stack of my custom keymap, #Karabiner, Mac OS, #VirtualBox, and IllumOS means that the Sun-derived OS really doesn't like my genuine Sun keyboard. It seems to get caps lock randomly stuck.

I have no choice but to use this keyboard because I don't hate my fingers. But I do hate all software.

#SunType7

I just got rid of the god awful Logi-options+ (and the 2GB LLM it comes with) and replaced it with Karabiner Elements on my Mac to harvest the power of the gesture / thumb button. The trick was to use the usb mouse device instead of the keyboard and then the button was button6 (forward and backward are button4 and button5)

#infosec #macos folks, any concerns about using #karabiner for key switching in a professional Mac? Just got one for work but would like to have a Linux like layout.

Cheers!

Как небольшие изменения горячих клавиш спасли мои запястья

Когда-то внес одну незначительную модификацию в клавиатуру, и мои запястья практически перестали болеть. Затем внес десятки — и забыл про дискомфорт. Статья о том, как сделать набор текста более эргономичным, не покупая эргономичную клавиатуру .

Ok. With #Ice, #Karabiner, #Shottr and (see attached screenshot), along with the native apps for messages, reminders, #Mona and #DayOne, I’m quite enjoying this #MacBook as a secondary machine. It’s nice to be able to just turn one’s brain off and.. NO DHRY. BAD. BAD DHRY. JUST BE NICE. (grabs left hand and sticks rusty nail through it Roy-Batty-like)

Finally! Managed to bind keyboard layout change to work with Emacs on Mac OS with the same key. Using #Karabiner, I map CapsLock (my lang change on MacOS) to Option-o, but just for #Emacs. Then in Emacs I bind M-o (keymap-global-set "M-o" 'toggle-input-method).

After #Karabiner didn't work for me, I've now managed to create a working key mapping between the #AlphaSmart 3000 and a modern Mac using #BetterTouchTool. Currently transferring the looong texts the previous owner left on this device 😅
#RetroComputing

I've had a #Jellycomb #bluetooth #keyboard for #Mac for a few years now, worked great when I first got it, but some macOS update broke the media keys on it (in fact anything on the top row: media, screen brightness, fn keys, etc.) and I couldn't find a fix at the time, so kinda lived with it.

I just found the rather ace #Karabiner-Elements (https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org) though, that does a bang-up job of remapping keys in #macOS

One of the most useful tricks I've put up is adding a 'Scratchpad' key to my laptop — in fact, I'm using it to write this post!

Here's how I did it:

1. Set up Keyboard Maestro with a workflow that toggles BBEdit's built-in 'Scratchpad' window. If the window is minimized, the workflow restores it, and vice versa.
2. Bind the Keyboard Maestro workflow so it's triggered by F20 (a function key not on any of my keyboards).
3. On my desktop keyboard, map a macro key to F20. On my Macbook, use Karabiner to bind tapping the Globe/Fn key to F20.

That's it! No matter what I'm doing, I can now tap a key and have a quick text scratchpad that's useful for writing and editing things in a real, resizable, doesn't-lose-content-if-the-browser-crashes window.

(For bonus points, I used Karabiner to bind that same F20 key so that if it's pressed -with- another key, it acts like the Super modifier instead!)

With karabiner-elements, you can disable the built in (mac) keyboard. This allows me to place my custom keyboard right on top and not risk any keypresses!

I keep seeing #karabiner being referenced for easy swapping of input source based on which #keyboard I’m using but the docs just aren’t clicking for me and I can’t find a similar config.

- Pour essayer de rationaliser un peu la situation, j'ai commencé à travailler sur « Tester #kmonad ou #karabiner ou #xremap pour régler les différences de shortcut entre macOS et Linux » (https://github.com/stephane-klein/dotfiles/issues/47)

Après avoir listé toutes ces difficultés que je rencontre, je pense que j'ai peu de chance d'arriver à migrer vers le Moonlander… en tous les cas, je ne vois pas de solution immédiate 🤔

dank eines weihnachtlichen neuzugangs für die #karabiner-sammlung weiß ich jetzt, dass 'karabiner' auf französisch "mousqueton" heißt. und auf italienisch "connettore". #bislangniedrübernachgedacht (modell: https://www.kong.it/de/produkt/quick-release-525/)
