![]() Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts Add Keyboard Shortcut to Sleep There is a Keyboard Shortcut for every action NOTE: If you have more than one keyboard, repeat for each keyboard. Click “Modifier Keys” at the lower-right corner.Ĭlick the entry for “Caps Lock ⇪ Key:” and select ⎋ Escape.Type K to reveal a list (without clicking the search box).A reminder of that is to the right of “System Preferences” menu item. Or get that dialog directly from anywhere by pressing (at the same time) control command comma. To open System Preferences, click the Apple icon at the upper-right corner to select it PROTIP: Make the caps lock key work like the Esc key: That happens because I accidentally had my hand too far to the left when I intended to press the A key.Īnyway I’ve gotten used to typing all caps by holding down the shift key with my left or right hand. And the Caps Lock key is too close to keys, causing problems with accidental password entry and lockouts.īLAH: It’s annoying when all of a sudden everything I type is in caps. Special (Modifier) Key Names and Symbols Remap Modifier KeysīLAH: The Esc (Escape) key is too far North on the keyboard and forces some to look down on the keyboard. REMEMBER: “Special” keys on a Mac’s keyboard are represented by both symbols and names: Get a Stream Deck for one-touch automated action (like magic).Customize defaults for speed (like the pros).Know the names and icons for “Modifier Keys”.You’ll feel less stress when you can get things done like a pro. PROTIP: Optimize for keys we use most, and avoid common mistakes with keys we accidentaly press. This topic is about how you, a Mac user, can stay focused so you can do things faster with less effort by configuring your keyboard and mouse and automating common actions. Touch Typing: eyes on the screen, not at the keyboard.There is a Keyboard Shortcut for every action.Special (Modifier) Key Names and Symbols.Granted, In my case I only need to swap one pair of keys between devices, so your mileage may vary if that is not the case for you. I get angry ? But I can immediately do a rather satisfying triple keystroke on that same key - that triggers BetterTouchTool to execute the Python script which in turn switches the profile and I can continue typing.Īs an added bonus, I can set BetterTouchTool to also send a backspace to delete the offending character, and also to type the desired character in its place. Here is the full use case: I strike a key while on the wrong profile. It has a nice new feature of being able to bind to "Key Sequence" which I'm using to map a triple-keystroke of my most often mistaken key. But instead of running it manually, I have added it as a shortcut using BetterTouchTool. I'm using Python script by pretty much as-is. I think I have a clever addition to it that I'd like to share. Thanks to all here for a good workaround! ![]() Osascript -e "display notification \"Karabiner has been disabled\" with title \"Karabiner Elements\"" 2>/dev/null Sed -i '' 's/true/false/g' "$karabiner_conf" Osascript -e "display notification \"Karabiner has been enabled\" with title \"Karabiner Elements\"" 2>/dev/null Sed -i '' 's/false/true/g' "$karabiner_conf" If ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0 | grep 'idProduct' | grep -qi $productID then ProductID='610' #productID should be conveted to decimal Karabiner_conf="$karabiner_dir/karabiner.json" Karabiner_dir="$HOME/.karabiner.d/configuration" So it's not perfect, but enough for me now. I think the productID is not very possible to conflict if you use external keyboard that manufactured by 3rd party.
