multitouch_extension_finger_count_total seems to put value in quotation marks #2

Hello, I am not a programmer so without your generator, I wouldn't have been able to successfully make any complex rules. For that, thank you very much!

Here is what happened:

MacOS version: 10.15.4 Karabiner-Elements version: 12.9.0 Mac Hardware: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) Mac Keyboard Hardware: built-in keyboard

Desired Rule: Remap left_arrow to right_control if Emacs is the active app AND there are no fingers on the trackpad.

Issue: Complex Rules Generator puts double quotes around the value for the variable "multitouch_extension_finger_count_total".

Solved: Installed the rule anyway then edited my karabiner.json file to remove the double quotes.

Generator output attached left_arrow_to_control_in_emacs_unless_touching_trackpad.pdf

Same issue with device identifiers. The generator adds quotes around the ID numbers, which makes my rule not work. I also have no coding experience, so figuring out what the issue was and how to edit the json file was a headache.

I do appreciate this generator regardless. It's helped a ton. Thank you.
