This application has been really huge for my productivity. I have literally rebinded every single key on my mac with it. It is very powerful especially when you combine it with the multitude of Alfred workflows and different scripts that you can run. I open Alfred with just single press of right command, I switch between all my apps through hotkeys, my caps lock is a hyper key, my right shift is delete. Can't give more praise to this tool really. Here is how I use it and what my config file for it looks like for all interested : https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/tree/master/karabiner https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/tree/master/karab... More importantly, it allows to keep myself sane with the enormous amounts of apps and tools I run on my system (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/my-mac-os https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/my-mac-os) and interchange with them seamlessly.

Nice guide, was planning to do something like that myself.

With all that software, I don't suppose you've come up with a good solution for installing and configuring it all automatically on a new machine? Last time I tried to automate it I used homebrew cask, but it definitely wasn't a satisfying solution.

  For most apps, can't you just keep the config files on e.g. dropbox?

  I like using github and stow. I use stow to easily symlink from my cloned copy ofy config files to the proper directory. It's simple and easy to set up.

I don't know, it seems like you've implemented some kind of macOS-wide Spacemacs :)

I've done the same: I remapped my azerty keyboard to carpalx (http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/?full_optimization http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/?full_optimization). I created a rails app to generate the private.xml file. I also created a custom special-chars mapping. The rails app is here: https://github.com/pinouchon/keybest https://github.com/pinouchon/keybest. I use this everyday on both my work and personal macbooks.
