Karabiner | powerful utility for keyboard customization | Keyboard library

i have currently switched to mac. However I am used to the keybinds in Windows. I want to map the keybinds differently so they resemble the windows keys.

Especially i want to change following keys:

Option + 5 = [ (in mac) to: control + command + 7 = [ (like in Windows)

etc.

How do I do that in Karabiner Elements?

Thanks a lot!

I perl script that runs the following command:

/bin/bash -c 'TASKRC=/Users/me/.taskrc /usr/local/bin/task add \'the task\''

The script works fine when the perl script is run from the command line. The command executes some python code in a library, tasklib, to insert a task into a TaskWarrior database.

However, when the perl script is executed indirectly by an app, Karabiner Elements, I get errors.

Some debug statements reveal this when the perl script is run standalone:

I always use numeric keypad as arrows, as I find it more convenient than using an separate arrow pad. Until recently I used a tool Karabiner Elements, but it stopped functionning at Big Sur. Yes, The Karabiner developer is working on that issue, but it will be better to solve it without relying on a third-party tool.

It will be enough for me to either remap Xcode, or (which is preferred) to change key bindings in the system, using a tool like hidutil.

Xcode's Preferences - Key Binding has a section Text - Section. When I try to modify the binding for say Move Down by pressing Down arrow on numeric keypad it comes up as '2'. Now whereever I press '2', on keyboard or numeric keypad, it always works as Move Down which is certainly not what I am after.

About hidutil. I couldn't find a good manual or any example of keyboard mapping.

Any help?

On Karabiner I am enabling multiples rules under its complex modifications setup, such as Emacs key bindings.

I was wondering is it possible to use those enables rules only for a specific keyboard layout such as U.S. and automatically disable those rules when I switch to an another keyboard layout.

On Karabiner rules (https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/complex_modifications/), there is no rule for Exchange dash and underscore.

Wanted exchange:

• - => _ and _ => -

On Karabiner rules (https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/complex_modifications/), there is a rule for Exchange paren and square bracket but there is no rule for Exchange square bracket and curly braket.

Wanted exchange:

• [ => { and { => [
• ] => } and } => ]
