It also happens on MacBook 12" + Sierra Internal JIS keyboard. Reinstall and restarting did not resolve the problem. I try old version. Thanks.

Takezo-san, thanks for a good software.

I have the same issue with 0.90.48 and RealForce.

I got the following error during build of 0.90.48. I cannot move to 0.90.46.

@HIRANO-Satoshi

you can download previous pre-built binary from here. https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/files/Karabiner-Elements-0.90.46.dmg

enjoy :-)

HIRANO-Satoshi commented 7 years ago

That's what I needed. It seems working.

Thanks so much, @shao1555.

@tekezo, thanks again for a great tool.

Making a small donation made me happy. Everyone, how about you?

I downgraded to 0.90.46, and once it seems work. but a few days after, it happened again (without upgrading newer version). I tried uninstalliing and deleting setting file, but no success. 0.90.50 also does not solve the problem.

305 and may be #311 are duplicate?

I think I got the same issue as @do-gugan 's with 0.90.46 ...

Downgraded to 0.90.46 -> keyboard recognized as JIS
Rebooted -> Key remapping happens (including XFER and NFER), but keyboard recognized as US (Shift+2 gives @ instead of ", same for other symbols)
Quit Karabiner-Elements, then restart Karabiner-Elements -> now keyboard is recognized as JIS

Hi all,

I experienced same symptom on macOS Sierra, Mac Pro 2009, HHKB pro type S (JIS). In my case, I cannot remember exact version number though, it occurs regardless of the Karabiner-Elements's version including current version. So, I guess that some state of MacOS may be related to this problem, such as external keyboard connected or not at boot time or you have connected an ASCII keyboard or not and so on.

Anyway, I looked at Karabiner-Element and Karabiner's source code, and I managed to avoid this problem in a very ugly manner. If you don't mind it, try this! I believe this is almost equivalent to Karabiner's __SetKeyboardType__ KeyboardType::JIS_MACBOOK_2008.

Apply attached patch to Karabiner-Element's source tree.
make
Overwrite karabiner_event_dispatcher with newly compiled one.
- sudo cp BUILD_ROOT/Karabiner-Elements/pkgroot/Library/Application\ Support/org.pqrs/Karabiner-Elements/bin/karabiner_event_dispatcher /Library/Application Support/org.pqrs/Karabiner-Elements/bin
Kill karabiner_event_dispatcher process. (Karabiner automatically reboot it)
- Quit Karabiner and restart it is not enough. It looks karabiner_event_dispatcher is still running after quit Karabiner.

Thank you,

@dato, I tried and it is working. Thanks much.

As you instructed, I changed src/share/hid_system_client.hpp like this, and run make, then installed the newly generated app. It is working without doing step 3 and step 4 in your list.

  void post_key(uint8_t key_code, krbn::event_type event_type, IOOptionBits flags, bool repeat) {
    NXEventData event{};
    event.key.origCharCode = 0;
    event.key.repeat = repeat;
    event.key.charSet = NX_ASCIISET;
    event.key.charCode = 0;
    event.key.keyCode = key_code;
    event.key.origCharSet = NX_ASCIISET;
    // event.key.keyboardType = 0
    event.key.keyboardType = 42; // JIS_PC_USB_KEYBOARD

I chose 42 for my PC keyboard from a list of keyboard types.
