I'm using Karabiner + Seil for this. I suppose Seil is the kernel extension you mention? Is Karabiner technically a "window manager" or did you have another app in mind?
If this is the only source of your complaints, honestly, I believe you'll have a lot more to complain about Linux.
I understand your frustration at Apple's walled garden, though. It is...dis-empowering.
- ioxenus 12y agothere's also ControllerMate which certainly has a kernel extension.
- 0942v8653 12y agoI used to use ControllerMate, but it just wasn't as good. Now I use Karabiner, but doesn't anyone else think it's a bit absurd to have to get a kernel extension just to remap keys?
- rys 12y agoSoftware comes in many shapes and forms. That it has to be a kernel extension in this instance seems a bit of an odd thing to complain about. I'd be much more concerned if Karabiner couldn't exist in a future OS X. That you can have it, use it and have it work well is more important than the mechanics of how it works underneath.
