Ability to disable global keyboard shortcuts for a specific app #2457

Open fatlazycat opened 4 years ago

fatlazycat commented 4 years ago

Is there anyway to disable all global keyboard shortcuts so a named specific app can get them the active ?

Problem is using an app like IntelliJ IDEA and many conflicts.

Thanks

+1. I love Karabiner and I use most of the PC-Style shortcuts, but for IntelliJ IDEA, I want to use the built-in XWin keymap and not rely on Karabiner (other than perhaps swapping control/command). Currently, it seems like the only solution is to exclude Intellij from the N number of rules.

Ah, to be clearer I wanted to stop global keyboard shortcuts defined in macOS or other apps from being activated for IntelliJ.

When I invoke some shortcut in IntelliJ it then also invokes the global shortcut as well and I have to hunt down where it is defined in the other app and turn it off.

I would also be interested in some similar feature. In my case, I would love to have the shortscuts in Karabiner be disabled if I focused Alacritty or any other terminal application.

+1. The default MacOS shortcuts are a pain when working on Windows using RDP or a Virtual Machine. VMs may give the ability to hijack keys, but then one has to configure that for each, individually. Otherwise I could just use Karabiner to have a set of "Windows unfriendly hotkeys to turn off" and set the apps to which it applies. (EDIT: I'd love to do it myself, but my MacOS knowledge is not even enough for a Dunning-Kruger.)

Is there a workaround for this?

JoeBrig commented 2 years ago

I use VIM style remaps of arrow keys in MacOS. This causes problems when working in the VIM app via a terminal. The ability to turn off mappings for specific apps, Alacritty in my case, would help.

Yeah, it's a nice feature to have. I use IDE for coding, and I want to use Control+Space for IDE key bindings and not switch languages in macOS...

Any news on this ?

Any updates? It would be a great feature especially when working on Win RDP.
