So, if you run into any issues, it’s not an issue to get rid of for your suggestions.
#KARABINER ELEMENTS ALTERNATIVE MAC FREE#
I have seen Karabiner used - apparently quite successfully - in the MacSparky videos on KM as a way to free up additional combinations. And others mention it here as a bit of a standard tool. I do keep an ultra-clean machine, so am nervous about the kind of conditions you ran into Tom - especially apparently random, or 'timed misbehaviour'Īll I need to do, really, is have a good 20/two dozen or so keys/key combinations which are unused in any other application for use as KM Triggers. In particular, I do often type diacritics, top-bit set characters such as £ and ♭. I thought that I could copy permanently these into KM clipboards so that I can paste them with a single Trigger whenever I need to - thereby not having to enter the extra keystrokes to invoke the OS' Emoji and Symbols palette/popup. make more keys with modifiers available across potentially many applications and the Finder.I think I'm right in assuming that if in KM I make those keystrokes which might clash with existing assignments available only in certain applications by setting such a preference in KM Macro Group by Macro Group, I won't run into any conflicts.īut since there must be easily 20-25 such diacritics and other pasted strings/ KM Actions which I want to be available throughout all applications and the Finder, the possibility of mapping to such a 'hyper key' as Caps Lock (as Karabiner seems to be able to do, am I right?) is an attractive one. I am not an expert, can't even use terminal and I downloaded Karabiner with no problems. I only use it for changing the caps key to a "Hyper key". One use and that fully justifies the app for me.ĭid you try to make typed triggers for those symbols? I am sure you can insert them into a text expansion using the 'paste text' or even 'type text' action and trigger with a string. I had a few logic symbols done that way at one time. Greek phi and psi, they worked fine: I am not sure if I had some 'style' issues though. I used 'xpi' for the trigger to give one example. I don't know whether every symbol on the OS palette can be properly inserted: I assume they can? You can also set 'paste text' to only fire after a space and that is useful, I assume I could have used "xp" in that case for phi.
Whether that would be quicker than a modifier key + single letter is interesting. Overall a good list for those that aren't comfortable in a terminal.I include a screen shot of one I still have on Keyboard Maestro, it gives me the prime symbol without having to fuss around.

Amethyst > Rectangle (Though Raycast also has windows managment capabilities).for a text editor I like neovim and Doom Emacs over VSCode.
