why bind to F17 instead of F18? #1

Hi.

I don't quite understand why you bind to the key F17 instead of F18 in here: k = hs.hotkey.modal.new({}, "F17")

All the remaining in the init.lua file deals with F18.

@introom: Great question. We actually need two different "keys" so we don't conflict when the event hits. That particular line is setting up a toggle for the sub-modal. Basically we want something unused and not conflicting with the key set up in the karabiner file.

The whole thing is overly complex, honestly. I hope karabiner-elements can catch up in functionality.

Got it. Thanks for your reply.
