editing karabiner.json #8

Open burgessa23 opened 1 month ago

burgessa23 commented 1 month ago

Hi,

I manually modified my karabiner.json, and it seems to have upset ti-vim. Once I saved my changes, the settings app would no longer open. I ran defaults delete com.tonisives.ti-vim and it's working again now, but it reset karabiner.json to only contain the config added by ti-vim.

Is this expected? If so, how would I go about customizing the config, or using my existing karabiner settings?

Hi, I also have custom karabiner rules. They should work if you add your them before the (ti-vim) ones. That is how I have it.

eg:

      "rules": [
          {
              "description": "my custom modification",
              "manipulators": [
                  {
                      "conditions": [],

"[...]"

          {
              "description": "(ti-vim) {vim_key} -> on, {vim_key}, esc, control+[ or any pointing_button -> off",
              "manipulators": [
                  {
                      "conditions": [
                          {

It should also work if you add your custom modifications before installing/resetting ti-vim. Then, ti-vim should add it's (ti-vim) modifications after the custom ones automatically

Thanks, that makes sense. I assume it's ok to change the mappings added by ti-vim to fit how I have vim setup?

Also, can I run karabiner elements alongside ti-vim? Or will it conflict?

can I run karabiner elements alongside ti-vim?

Karabiner elements needs to run along side ti-vim. If you have a custom Karabiner installation, then you can install ti-vim as a standalone app (as written in downloads)

change the mappings added by ti-vim to fit how I have vim setup

You can change ti-vim modifications. Just make sure to check and retain the messages to ti-vim app:

    "shell_command": "osascript -e 'tell application \"ti-vim\" to indicator 0'"

Please note, that ti-vim app will reset the (ti-vim) mappings to default ones after
