Does this happen even if you choose the keyboard type manually [1]?

@MuhammedZakir It does, at least for me.
I have an RGO Split keyboard which is unable to pass the SHIFT
button from one side to the other through the system.
When I change the keyboard type manually I press on the <
button to the right of the leftmost SHIFT
. But in TextEdit and thelike it is the ^
button printed to the left of the 1
underneath the ESC
key.
Somewhat annoying during coding, though.
As soon as I quit Karabiner-Elements, it works perfectly fine. Restarting Karabiner-Elements and it's all wrong again.
Manually setting the keyboard type shows "Hantick device" in both cases, so it looks like there is something overwritten by Karabiner-Elements.
Unfortunately my C++ suxx (I'm only good at Objective-C and Swift), so I cannot provide any pull request. ☹️
Guess I found some workaround.
You could open the command line and copy the preferences of your keyboard to some writable place:
$ cp /Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist ~/Desktop
When you access this with Xcode, you'll find some information:
Key | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
8584-2321-0 | Number | 41 |
10203-5824-0 | Number | 40 |
The first being the product-vendor-country id triple of my keyboard that Karabiner-Elements maps to,
the second being the product-vendor-country id triple that Karabiner-Elements provides in its Virtual Keyboard
tab.
So updating the value of the Karabiner-Elements to the one of the working keyboard, saving it back and restart the machine solved the problem for me.
$ sudo cp ~/Desktop/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist /Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist

So, the question is: What does the virtual keyboard of Karabiner-Elements do different than the real keyboard when macOS asks for the keyboard recognition?

Hello,
I use Karabiner since months with the same keyboard. Starting today my keys are not registered the right way.
Examples
Shift + 0 gives me a 0 Shift + - gives me a = = gives me a ^
I did not change my config since May. Problems seems that my Mac thinks my keyboard would be other country style. I have an ANSI one. I already tried to disable all modification and created an empty profile. No luck.
When I disable the keyboard under Devices Basic Configuration or Quit Karabiner Ehements my keys are correct.
MacOS 11.5.1 Karabiner 13.5.0 and 13.5.1
What could be wrong?
Thanks for the help Jan
