As the title says, I'm looking for some help with making xml files (or finding pre-written ones) for Karabiner Elements.
Specifically, I'm looking for an xml that will allow me to use the system shortcuts from the older versions of macOS (e.g. Apple+L to lock the screen, Shift+Apple+L to logout, etc.).
If anyone either is able to write one for me (I'm no goo!d at writing xml's or any other programming language as I don't know the first thing about it) or if someone knows where I could go to download one, please let me know - that would be a huge help.
Thanks in advance!
All the best to everyone & stay Healthy, Happy and Safe
So I usually type on my iPad. Itβs an M1 Pro running the latest iPadOS.
Since there is no external keyboard mapping app available for the iPad that I know of (if there is, please advise), I thought I would make the changes using Karabiner Elements on my Macbook and then connected the re-mapped keyboard to my iPad.
I made the keymapping changes, and they worked flawlessly on my MacBook. Disconnect BT from my Macbook, reconnect to my iPad and⦠Nothing. None of the changes I made register at all on the iPad.
This is odd because at least one keymapping change I made is a duplicate of a command that I know the keyboard is capable of sending successfully to the iPad⦠my keyboard came stock with Fn + A, S, and D to control volume/mute. When I mapped the F keys to do the same, that change does not work on the iPad.
So hereβs my confusion, and itβs a couple of layers deepβ¦
I was under the impression that Karabiner Elements literally reprogrammed the physical keyboard. Meaning you could take said keyboard from the device you had keymapped on, in my case a Macbook Air, and connect it to another device that is not running Karabiner Elements, and the changes would remain, because you had reprogrammed the actual keyboard, not the interface between the device and the keyboard.
It would appear that one of two things is happeningβ¦
- Remapping via Karabiner Elements does not affect the actual physical keyboard, merely the interface between the keyboard and the device that is running Karabiner Elements. Meaning if I were to remap keys on one MacBook, the changes would not remain if I moved to another MacBook, unless that second MacBook was also running Karabiner Elements. If this is the case, it would explain my difficulty, as iPad does not support the software.
- Karabiner Elements disables functions of the keyboard. If option one is incorrect, and Karabiner Elements does in fact reprogram the actual keyboard so that it can work independently of the program on a different computer that does not have Karabiner installed, then it is altering the base Mac commands, insomuch as current MacOS and iPadOS are interchangeable as far as those commands go. Even the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, which is marketed as not being compatible with iPad (due to the iPad not supporting Touch ID functionality) will still increase/decrease screen brightness on the iPad, control volume, media functions, etc etc. So the if the keyboard itself is being reprogrammed, the Karabiner mu
A local shop has a 98K for $900 and i can't get it out of my head. I saw it while in doing a CZ52 transaction and wonder what I should look at before purchasing. Can anyone help me with things to look for before buying and if that is a good price. I don't have anything German in my C&R Stash or any 7 (8?) mm firearms (or ammo). Since my Grandparents were from Frankfurt it also seems a horrible hole in my "collection" (big word for what i own.)
Any help/info would be appreciated.
I appreciate Karabiner for basic stuff like swapping the FN and Command keys as well as some basic modifications. However I would like something more accessible.
Is there an app that shows you all key bindings / shortcuts in a very clear way and allows you to remap them? For example, remaping Command+Delete from "Delete everything backward on the current line" to "Forward delete" is a very complex process in Karabiner. I would like something that has a more clear and simple process.
Hallo there. I would like to ask those who use Karabiner Elements! Do you know if it is possible to remap the keys of a second keyboard/pad connected to your Mac? I want to use the primary keyboard as is and the secondary for shortcuts for some programs I'm using. Thanks
Relative climbing newbie. I work on a real variety of trees from big eucalypts with thick stringy/fibrous bark, on which I prefer wire core fliplines, to ornamental garden trees, where I prefer rope. I would like to be able to quickly swap between fliplines depending on the job.
Can I use steel locking karabiners to attach my flip lines to harness? Or is this a no-no considering there is more of a chance the karabiners can come off compared to the maillons I currently use?
