Dvorak layout doesn't work

[jacobeatsspam]

My hunch is that this affects other shortcuts as well.

This bug is due to Karabiner unable to support anything but the physical layout of qwerty mappings, requiring a complete copy of the existing settings, mapping to the qwerty equivalents of what ever layout is desired.

[jacobeatsspam]

Is there a condition for keymap that can be applied?
This condition could be used in conjunction with the physical keyboard layout

{
    "input_sources": [
        {
            "input_source_id": "^com\\.apple\\.keylayout\\.Dvorak$"
        }
    ],
    "type": "input_source_if"
}

Maybe I'll open a PR...

That's an interesting idea.

Do Dvorak layout users use the same physical keys for shortcuts as QWERTY? Or is Ctrl+C still copy no matter where "C" is located?

[jacobeatsspam]

The latter, no matter where it's located. I'm slowly adding dvorak support and will submit a PR

Hi @jacobisaliveandwell, just checking in to see how you're getting on with that PR. Let me know if I can help at all.

@jacobisaliveandwell any update on this? Do you have some progress?
I also use dvorak and come from Windows development. It would be great to get this working.
Maybe I can help take it a bit more of the way towards completion.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry everyone. I'm giving up on MacOS and moving back to Linux.

I still use a mac some times and have been thinking about revisiting this issue, but it's a low priority. Please feel free to take it on.

I've been thinking about a way to do this, and I think that with the new jsonnet implementation there's a path forward, but it'll take some work and testing.

I am not having any issues using dvorak both from my mac keyboard and from a keyboard with a hardware switch with karabiner. I'm pretty sure you can close this issue.
