caps_lock to control and to escape when alone is not working

maindoor commented 2 years ago

Hi Team,

I have a simple config like so: { :des "caps_lock to esc when pressed alone, to ctrl as modifier" :rules [[:##caps_lock :left_control nil {:alone :escape}]] }

1) whenever I single-tap caps_lock, it sends left_control down/up followed by escape down/up. 2) when I hold down caps_lock it sends left_control. Some how my Macbook 2019 i-9 isn't recognizing the escape sequence being sent to it. eg. bring-up spot light search, single-tap caps_lock, nothing happens. event viewer confirmed 1) above. even in Vi when I go to insert mode, single-tap caps_lock does not go to normal mode. even viewer confirmed 1) above. Note: This exact same config works on 2015 Macbook pro. :( . Both are on Big Sur!

What could be wrong ?

Thanks.

just found out that it was a third-party tool that was interacting with karabiner!

@maindoor I'm having the issue you describe as (1) above.

Do you remember what third-party tool was interfering?
