Then you need to configure Interception to use this plugin.

Install Interception Tools and a plugin such as caps2esc or interception-k2k. You can achieve this on Waylan, a TTY or X11 using Interception Tools, which talks directly with libevdev and libudev. For example, the Dell Precision 7510 is bulky and has a trackpad that feels like sandpaper the Lenovo X1 (a very nice system) lacks a Thunderbolt port etc.ģ) External keyboards are also a non-starter because of the laptop requirement an external keyboard on the plane or train is not happening. None are comparable to the combined power, size, feel, and style of the Apple top end products, albeit at a premium price. I've tried Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer systems and looked at a lot more. Karabiner's dual function approach is, IMHO, far and away, the most effective in that it provides control key symmetry on the keyboard home row, and for all applications!Ģ) Different hardware is also likely to be suggested. Many have been tried with varying degrees of satisfaction. So my question is: what programming advice would you suggest for solving this problem? Especially one that can be developed in hours, days or weeks rather than in months.ġ) There are different approaches involving changes of behavior such as swapping control and command keys. And no doubt there may be other approaches as well. Now I am wrestling with porting Karabiner or creating a new tool entirely. The Karabiner author writes that xbindkeys and rbindkeys do key remapping but at first glance they do not seem to handle the dual function behaviors.

Question: since Karabiner is an OS X only tool with no readily available Gnu/Linux counterpart, it looks like I will have to write and/or modify some code to achieve the capslock and return key dual function behaviors Karabiner enables.

Disappointed with recent Apple decisions for both hardware and software, I am now moving back to Gnu/Linux (Ubuntu if it matters) but sticking with Mac laptops. I prevented RSI onset by using the Karabiner tool to make two small but very important changes: 1) changing the capslock key to generate a menu (f13) key when pressed alone and a control key modified keycode when pressed with another key 2) changing the return key in a similar fashion, get return when pressed alone and a control key modified keycode when pressed with another key. More importantly, as a heavy Emacs user, the switch to Mac was painful, with the Apple standard short keyboard both maddening and unavoidable.

If you're an automation nerd, or simply looking for a way to trigger scripts, macros, and other desktop events, Keyboard Maestro is the ultimate app.Background: for the past five years or so, I have been using Mac hardware (high end MacBook Pro laptops for the most part) and software after many years of using Gnu/Linux on typical PC hardware with ergonomic keyboards.

MIDI control, for triggering actions with MIDI input devicesįortunately, you can download Keyboard Maestro and try it out for yourself before you buy.

Touch Bar manipulation on the latest MacBook Pro.

Action-based macros, like the ability to open or delete specific files with a trigger.

An application launcher and iTunes remote.

This is just the tip of what Keyboard Maestro can do, hence its $36 price tag. The app also functions as a text expansion app, allowing you to replace a trigger phrase like myname with a longer string like John Doe. One example is using a keyboard shortcut to type a piece of information, like your name or email address. Arguably the app's biggest selling point is the ability to create as many shortcuts as you want.
