But it expanded as I tried to implement more features.Īnyway I'm really an absolute novice programmer so if anyone tries and lets me know if it even installs and works I'd appreciate it! I'll be very responsive if you're interested and need help with setting it up. This was meant to be a much simpler tool and practice-project that handled my very limited personal use-cases, focused on automated and immediate layer-toggling (no waiting for the 'if held down' threshold). I don't know that learning the syntax for karaml is that much easier than Goku, and it's certainly not as fully-featured, but I tried to make it easy to maintain and read. Then, in Karabiner Preferences, Misc & Uninstall, Open private.

Multiple frontmost-app conditions and mappings all belong to the same 'from' key for easier organization. Shop varmilo va87m mac tkl gaming mechanical keyboard cherry mx blue switch 87 keys.

karaml will auto-create toggle-off mappings for mappings in both the 'when-tapped' and 'when-held' positions, and automatically adds a condition requiring a layer to be enabled to each mapping that belongs to that layer. The main organizing principle is how 'layers'/conditions are handled. It auto-updates (and backs up) your existing JSON config with Python every time you run the karaml command For individual modifications, instead of JSON key-value pairs, 'to' events are interpreted by position in an array. The config structure is based on the idea that every modification belongs to a layer. My messy side project! karaml lets you write a Karabiner config in yaml with complex modifications in a compressed, easy to maintain format, with lots of shorthands for common functions (open apps, open links, run shell commands, show notifications, etc.). In this case when I press the “button4” I simulate the shortcut CMD++ALT.This is a project based on a much cleaner tool by Max Stoiber written in Typescript and if you haven't checked that out, you should! I was inspired to start this project by this great video In this rule I had to add a condition, the rule works only if the frontmost application is different than Firefox. After I wrote this rule I discovered that it also works in the Finder but it does not work in Firefox because Firefox does not support this shortcut (I wrote a different rule for it). First of all, I wanted to use the “button4” to go back to the previous page in Safari.You can find the entire file in this Github repository. Into this section of the JSON file, we have to add some rules to remap the mouse’s button.Īs an example, I’ll put here some snippets taken from my configuration. Into the karabiner.json file, we have to add some pieces of information in the “complex_modifications” field. As you can see from the image, using the Event Viewer you can precisely understand what happens when you press a button on your keyboard or on your mouse.
