Karabiner-Elements is a powerful utility for keyboard customization on macOS Sierra (10.12) or later. While it is very powerful, the developers are absolutely doing some great work, and it is an app beloved of many of the Internet’s more prominent Mac users, including yourself, some of the issues that seem to make it through put it in the ‘too risky’ bucket for me. The issue log on GitHub also makes for very interesting reading. isnt working, then other things may be broken and may not be as easily noticed. I don’t want those headaches any more, and this sort of app can definitely affect system-stability, which is presumably what the OP has experienced. When my computer restarts i seem to have to start Karabiner elements or. I remember some of the really low-level stuff I used to use at work on Windows that IBM developed in partnership with Microsoft, and even that caused headaches in the real world a lot of the time. I’ve got so many ways to trigger so many things (often multiple ways), that the cognitive load of adding a hyper-key with Karabiner and just the fundamental need over the hundred of options have just never taken me down that path.Īs it happens, I also *really* don’t like the idea of something poking around at that level without it being part of the OS or being developed in part with Apple. I rely on my more traditional key combinations, Alfred workflows, Keyboard Maestro palettes, a Stream Deck and/or Touch Bar (Better Touch Tool FTW!). Everything else I’ve ever seen always piggy-backs the work being done and has Karabiner as a prerequisite. Victor Sergienko at 23:38 Add a comment You must log in to answer this question. Let me check if there is a ready 'Complex modification' rule in their repository. The thing is, Karabiner is doing some low-level wizardry, and it is the only thing that I’ve ever come across that goes down to that level to do this sort of thing. There, I had to remap all the numpad keys to their functions. That’s the nearest option I could find, and I agree, it isn’t a great match, but then I don’t think anything can be.

Install at your own risk.The only issue for me would be that this method is not quite the hyper key: Found another page dealing with that issue: Īll in all, if an app makes it this hard to uninstall, I'm 100% suspicious. I noticed that despite uninstalling it, it was open and active in the status bar. It seemed to work (the app icons were gone from the Applications folder) but if it was running before you uninstalled it, look at your status bar at top. But I couldn't delete the app itself until I found this site: I literally Got Info on every item, added myself to Permissions and then gave myself Read/Write privileges so I could at least delete those files. I was going into the Contents folder of the app (right click on the app > Show Package Contents) and found everything there was locked too. Karabiner Elements gets no use on the computer The application itself encounters a problem which need to remove first Karabiner Elements should be reinstalled. It's locked on install and no way to unlock it. Impossible to install unless you do it at the command level.
