- lilyball 6y agoThe downside is Karabiner Elements requires installing a kext, and macOS Catalina periodically shows warnings saying the kext is a legacy extension.
- thebean11 6y agoMan as someone who has been putting off the upgrade that's too bad, I figured their solution of creating kind of a virtual keyboard input would be pretty solid going forward. Does Hammerspoon work just as well? Karabiner is so incredibly solid.
- lilyball 6y agoHammerspoon is doing the stuff talked about here using event taps. I don't know if you can reliably use event taps to simulate different modifiers though, or to prevent a modifier from actually taking effect (e.g. if you wanted to remap one modifier to another). I'm hoping Karabiner Elements figures out some solution going forward. It still works on Catalina but the expectation is the "legacy kext" will no longer function on 10.16.
