Hacking your keyboard with karabiner

Update

I’ve since come up with an easier way to maintain my rules. This post talks of some of the cool things you can do with Karabiner. But if you want a more maintainable way of customizing all this, read my other post instead.

tl;dr:

brew install yqrashawn/goku/goku
mkdir -p ~/.config && cd ~/.config
touch karabiner/karabiner.json
touch karabiner.edn
# update your edn file with a sample from here https://github.com/yqrashawn/GokuRakuJoudo/blob/master/tutorial.md
# or mine: https://gist.github.com/kaushikgopal/ff7a92bbc887e59699c804b59074a126

I’ve been messing with mechanical keyboards recently.¹ There was one in particular which is a 60% layout that I fell in love with.
