Easily the best tutorial video I have ever seen. I'm a nerd, so I was already going to be fine with a droll, info-only RUclips. But all the extras made it truly enjoyable to watch. So much so that I rewound a number of times because I wanted to hear or see something again. Really, really awesome. I'm legit excited to watch part 2. I hope it lives up to the unreasonable expectations I have created. winky face emoji
I just want to tell you, how thankful I am, for the hard work you put into both parts (especially part2). The costumization with the hyper key seems like a genius idea and works amazingly for me!
hey @@Sapientiaa is this unresolved. I can see it. Press COMMAND+Space and search for "Karabiner-EventViewer", assuming you have downloaded and installed and given permission in the Macbook settings as an administrator ? Hope this helps. Do respond if this was helpful? Happy Xmas Holidays 2023.
You missed one Karabiner at 12:29. This video is very funny dude. And I had no idea this was even possible. I’m very curious on how it can help me edit faster. Great informative video.
You're so amazing, I legit only came to your channel for the second video but honestly I stopped cause it was so amazing, knew I had to watch the first one as well even though I pretty much got the basics.
You really have an entertaining way of presenting topics. I think, though, that you missed one instance of "karabiner" at 12:30 ;-). Hope you make plenty of such educational videos.
Thank you so much! I had no idea how to identify the key i wanted to remap to "Esc" in this dumb touchbar Macbook. The key to the left of the number 1 key is now my Esc key!!!
i couldnt understand anything, im came here just to change the controls to play undertale but man... your video was so good and chill. I hope you grow big!!
Dude, Thanks for the video. One suggestion though, for those viewing this video on a laptop, it is very difficult to see the small windows. If you could zoom into them while showing stuff, it would be great.
I'm using this because my function keys (from F1 to F12) on my MacBook are fucked up and I tried every method there is for them to work without any use of apps, but no luck so I had no choice, but to go with this one. With this, they all worked.
Refreshingly hilarious. I've been searching for a kmonad replacement for the new apple silicon, and your video is helping make that happen! /Salutetoyou
I'm impressed how much you've done with karabiner, but my two simple questions were not answered. I've been using it on OS 10.11 and earlier for many years, but migrating to 10.13, where I make the semi-colon become delete key, this version of karabina has no colon key in the simple key list (I use it to delete forward). AND holding down command doesn't make the semi-colon work again. I'm 80 yrs old (been using computers since 1964 punching cards for Fortran II), but I need help with this simple task. I got on Github, hoping to find a forum, but got completely lost. Jesse, if you see this, can you steer me to the right place?
I realize that when playing mc i cant sprint (control key) and attack (left click) at the same time. Instead, mac just makes it a right click instead. Some guy online recommended using karabiner so thats why i came here. plz help me. i would like to sprint and attack at the same time. thx.
Rocket science to me. I want to create key combination and map them to a key on the keyboard. For example. I want to take say the letter A to execute " Control+Option+S" . I'm using "macros" within another app where I can assign a shortcut key.
Do you know how to enable scroll lock for an rgb keyboard? Mac doesn't recognize that function key on my external keyboard, that button is to activate the lights.....
Hi Jesse, firstly thanks, the tutorials are first class and easy to understand. I have a question, why does it record my keystrokes and observe my actions, surely this is a massive security risk? Can you reassure us this is not a risk to our personal data like passwords etc...?
Hey @Jessee, amazing video, awesome effort. I am a subscriber now. Keep up the good work. I have a request, being new to macbook from windows. 1. I wish you could share how to **transform the backspace key** on my macbook pro (2022 using macOS 14 Sonoma) to work like a **delete** key in windows? e.g. I would like to use the right-hand-side command + backspace to work as delete. Is that possible, if so how ? 2. I would like to use the back-slash "\" key to "#" as I use markdown and pressing two keys to get "#" is a productivity killer for me. Any thoughts or profiles you can share would be greatly appreciated. Hope someone responds to me quickly. Thanks all.
hihi! thank you for the awesome video! just wondering if you shut down your laptop with the karabiner stuff running, does the app reset when you reopen your laptop? thanks!
How do I create a macro for an action in a certain application? Let’s say I want to program F1 to go to the HSL panel in Lightroom and select the Reds and then the X key to change the hue of certain colours… how do I program this ? 😭
I'm new to using MacOS. My first issue with it, is that the clever control+a/control+e shortcuts to jump to the beginning/end of the line, work when the current keyboard input is in english, but not when it's Hebrew. Can Karabuyner fix that?
Couple questions, what editor is that? FCP X? How did you pop up the chrome window at the same time as shrinking your other one to match it? How did you rip the computer spoken sound straight to your editor? Or were these editing magic? It was so seamless and I hate having to find assets/pics online and save them separately and then drag em into the editor, so if there's a legit way to do what you did at the beginning would love to hear that, thanks! Also thanks to you I was able to remap my wireless USB keyboard's useless PC Application key to Cmd as it should be.
This is a great video, but I have a quick question... When Karabiner-Elements is running it disables every keyboard shortcut I already had... Cmd+Space = Alfred, Cmd+Tab = Switch between open apps, etc. Is there any way to "Import" my existing keyboard shortcuts rather than importing someone else's from the internet? I really just want to be able to make a shortcut for my non-apple keyboard to adjust the volume and brightness up and down, but it seems to be very complicated.
This seems very powerful. have to learn it and practice a lot hehe. Just one question. Karabiner disables Keyboard Maestro or Better TouchTool automatically? all of the sudden it doesn´t let me add anything any shortcuts to Keboard maestro
hello Jesse: I enjoyed this, you have a pleasing, no-nonsense delivery that appeals to me. I have used Karabiner since it was called KeyRemap4MacBook, but only for a couple of things, mainly to get a hyperkey, which I use with Keyboard Maestro to do a variety of things. but I was quite taken with your chording of the two shift keys to get caps_lock back. I downloaded your modifications, and have tried some of them out, yet the one I wanted 2 shifts > caps_lock just refuses to work for me. I would love it if you, or anyone could shed some light on this, as it seems to work beautifully for you, and I am using your modification. thanks: t
I've added this rule (config is imported from the site) and it works. Try to Restore Defaults of: Keyboard Settings (Keyboard tab) -> Modifier Keys... (right down corner). Hope it helps.
hello, after I installed karabiner. the mac sees my bluetooth keyboard as an Apple keyboard and won't let me setup ''Change Keyboard Type'' also disabled the keyboard bluetooth power saving mode. I uninstalled the app but the problem still remains. how can I reset keyboard settings and delete all files from the past.
Hi I came here because I read that the only way for keypad arrows, ins, del, etc. to work for external 101 style keyboard with my macbook pro is to remap these - it seems like numlock is always on and I use the keypad with numlock off to navigate vscode, etc. What do people do about this? Could this be my USB brand keyboard or am I the only one still on the planet that uses the arrows i.e. 5160 old style keyboard. I'm going to try this download but I'm scratching my head as to why numlock off just doesnt work. And in case anyone says check "mousekeys" - that works fine, I can turn those on and use arrows to move the mouse. What I want is old fashion USB 101 keypad arrows to work on a mac (that doesn't have them).
My non-mac keyboard will no longer allow me to type French guillemets, that is quotation marks like these « est devenu presqu’une mode » which are possible by typing shift-option-' on a regular mac keyboard. Can you tell me how to configure Karabiner to allow me to do that? TIA
Hi Jesse, hope all is well. I'm a little late to the party here. I would like to setup this as a elgato stream desk alternative, is it possible? I have a spare computer keyboard; the logictechboard designed for Avid Pro Tools, will this be OK to use along side my space grey BT mac keyboard? I think it can using the devises tab in this software as you mentioned right? Thanks in advance - BTW; Mac Mini M1 here. Tnx Dude
After watching this and part 2, I’m still a bit unclear about how to set up my own unique launch shortcuts/general hotkeys using the caps lock hyper key - seems like olauncher does this for you instead?
Ah, I use the hyper key with other software (Alfred, keyboard maestro, etc) to set up macros to do many different things. O launcher is just for launching applications for me.
Oh man, not even half way through and you are making me laugh out loud! Thanks. Going from windows to MAC has been stressful and this is the highlight
This guys editing and sense of humor are great! His tinder chats must be blast

Happy Xmas Holidays 2023.
Here I was thinking I had to go buy a whole new keyboard. Using caps lock and cArBINer is the solution I needed. Thanks!!
does your keyboard locks out when pressing caps lock button?
You never see comedy in how-to videos, it's very refreshing.
You missed one Karabiner at 12:29. This video is very funny dude. And I had no idea this was even possible. I’m very curious on how it can help me edit faster. Great informative video.
Hah, good catch. Check out the complex modifications website and their GitHub. You'll find something helpful on there.
Videos like this are why i love the internet !! Thanks man.
People like you are the reason I make them! You're welcome.
Finally someone who explained to me well and not complicated
how do I uninstall it Its not letting me?

Thank you very much🙏🏻. I could follow you even I'm not an advanced 💻user. I download the toggle Caps Lock with shift keys 😄
Great video, helped a lot and was very funny lol
edit: nvm i figured it out, thx for the great vid!
Fantastic tutorial!
I just want to make it so it pushes cmd + left arrow when i press Reqind (F7). It doesn't work. Says: unknown modifier: "left arrow"
{
"manipulators": [
{
"description": "Rewind = Back",
"from": {
"key_code": "rewind",

Super cool video amigo ! Quick question, how do you do the joke sound thingy ?
Thank you so much
Does your caps lock key(as a modifier) and double shift press(as caps lock) set-up change the way the keyboard's caps lock LED responds as well?
