Karabiner-Elements for macOS Sierra
Submitted by Bill St. Clair on Mon, 12 Sep 2016 21:20:26 GMT
On Saturday, I bemoaned the breaking of Karabiner in macOS Sierra. I was very unfond of having to again press the "control" key instead of the "fn" key. Well, the replacement now works well enough for my purposes. You can download it at github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements. Follow the instructions there for creating a karabiner.json config file, and put the following in it:
{
"profiles": [
{
"name": "Default profile",
"selected": true,
"simple_modifications": {
"fn": "left_control",
"left_control": "fn"
}
}
]
}

Unfortunately, Karabiner-Elements

Unfortunately, Karabiner-Elements currently breaks shift-click, command-click, and command-shift click. None of them does anything. I could live without shift-click to extent the selection, but I used command-shift-click tens of times a day to open Firefox links in a new tab. Hopefully, Takayama Fumihiko will fix it soon. Issue created.

The Karabiner-Elements

The Karabiner-Elements bug has been fixed. For a little while, it broke Emacs, but that too is gone in version 0.90.29. I'm happily using it, with "fn" acting as "control" and vice-versa.
