Karabiner

Karabiner is a powerful utility for keyboard customization.

• Change the key mappings (For example, "Change Right Option to Enter" )
• Change the key repeat speed.
• The revival of a lost NumPad key (Fn+jkluio789…)
• Features for more efficient operations. (Emacs Mode, Vi Mode, Mouse Keys Mode,...)

Prior to version 9.3.0, Karabiner was calledKeyRemap4MacBook.

We made Karabiner-Elements from scratch due to kernel architecture changes in macOS Sierra.
