Can't get Colemak keyboard layout to work in MacOS #403

Open rwedmonds opened 1 month ago

rwedmonds commented 1 month ago

I have two different Colemak keyboards: One is wired Beekeeb Piantor and has custom mappings and requires the keyboard layout within MacOS to be set to the normal US layout, and it sends the correct keys to the OS. The other is a Nuphy Air 75 bluetooth keyboard and it requires the OS to be set to Colemak to work. In my .toml file, I have tried commenting out the default qwerty layout and leaving it in and in both cases tried adding the Colemak key mappings and commenting them out, each time reloading the config.

The behavior I'm seeing is that a lot of keys simply don't work. I wanted to map my mail app to Alt-Shift-m, but it acts like it doesn't even see it. I tried putting a window in the O workspace and it puts it in the Y workspace. For some reason the key mapping isn't working. I also can't place apps in many of the numbered workspaces while others seem to work fine.

I REALLY like the idea of this app. If there is anything that can be done I am happy to do it. I've attached my aerospace.toml file (renamed to .txt, as you can see). aerospace.txt

Thanks.

@rwedmonds , I found that even after implementing the Colemak Keys Remap, the key in the config file matched the letter printed on the key. So, I pulled out the remap, left it in QWERTY mode, configured the key map as such, and went on my merry Coleman way.
