![]() ![]() 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. #Karabiner elements 90.89 code#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. #Karabiner elements 90.89 mac#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. #Karabiner elements 90.89 install#Install at your own risk.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. 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. It's locked on install and no way to unlock it. Impossible to install unless you do it at the command level. ![]()
