You don’t need to use Karabiner for that: keyboard preferences has a modifier keys setting (per keyboard) that achieves this exact remapping with no kernel extensions.
- wlesieutre 5y agoAnd even if it were required, Karabiner-Elements is already running as a userspace DriverKit device instead of a kernel extension: > Changed the virtual keyboard and mouse implementation to DriverKit from deprecated kernel extension. https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/releasenotes/#karabiner-elements-1300 https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/releasenotes/#karab...
- spicybright 5y agoSurprisingly not. You can't re-bind the FN key's function using normal settings. On a 2019 mac pro, catalina, btw, looking at Settings > Keyboard > Modifier Keys...
- jen20 5y agoSame Mac, Big Sur, the Fn key binding is there. This article [1] suggests that it was the case at least in Catalina given the screenshots - but I don't have it easily available to test. [1]: https://howchoo.com/mac/mac-remap-fn-to-ctrl https://howchoo.com/mac/mac-remap-fn-to-ctrl
- duskwuff 5y agoPossibly stupid question: are you using an Apple keyboard? The Fn key remapping doesn't show up for third-party keyboards, as those won't have a Fn key (or, at least, not one that's remappable in the same way).
- spicybright 5y agoYeah, I'm using the built in keyboard on the laptop itself.
- TMWNN 5y agoThe Fn function is available for rebinding on a 2012 Macbook Pro with Mojave.
