[wish] Additional remappings for Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 Keyboard #516
Thank you!
I've updated prepared settings at Karabiner 10.14.10.
Please confirm the latest beta version.
How to upgrade to the latest beta version:

The above changes do not work with the latest version. Have all of them ticket, yet, the ALT key is not linked to the command key.
@binarykitchen Karabiner does not work if you installed IntelliType. Please confirm that IntelliType is not installed in your system.
@tekezo confirming here, it is intellitype is not installed. still does not work ...
@binarykitchen Could you show me the EventViewer result in the following cases?
https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/document.html.en#eventviewer
- Press the ALT key with Karabiner settings are enabled.
- Press the ALT key with Karabiner settings are disabled.
If both results are same, I guess you've installed another keyboard driver that is conflicting with Karabiner.
Please show me your loaded kexts by this command in Terminal.
- Open Terminal app from Launchpad.
- Execute this command in Terminal.
kextstat | grep -v com.apple
before i do that, i let you know that i am using another trick to make it work. in mac os, under settings > keyboard > modifier keys i remapped the keys to their commands there. without karabiner and seems to work fine so far.
@binarykitchen OK, you can do that way. Please consider using Karabiner if you want to change the left and right modifiers separately.
I have a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 Keyboard, and Karabiner neatly allows me to swap the left-side modifier keys to the Mac-native order in
Device Specific Mixed Settings / For Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 Keyboard (UK). The optionUse Windows Key as OptionremapsCOMMAND_LtoOPTION_L, and the optionUse Alt Key as CommandremapsOPTION_LtoCOMMAND_L. That's great.However, the old Microsoft keyboard driver (which no longer works on El Capitan) also had an additional option to swap the right-side modifier keys. So I'd like to suggest the following changes:
Use Windows Key as Optionthat remapsCOMMAND_LtoOPTION_L,Use Alt Key as CommandtoUse Left Alt Key as Commandand keep it to remapOPTION_LtoCOMMAND_L(which it currently does).Use Right Alt Key as Commandand make it remapOPTION_RtoCOMMAND_R.Use Application Key as Optionand make it remapPC_APPLICATIONtoOPTION_R.These four settings together would give back the options available in the Microsoft driver.
Below is the updated contents of
include/checkbox/devices/microsoft_natural_ergonomic_keyboard.xmlthat reflects those changes. For now, I have placed this into theprivate.xmlfile and disabledMisc & Uninstall / Use prepared settings. It works great! Thank you for making Karabiner, it’s fantastic! :)
