Integrate json config with goku generated congid

[fredcallaway]

Hi there! I have an existing configuration using the premade json-based configs that you can download from the karabiner website. I would like to keep these, and then add new configurations using goku. Is that possible? Otherwise I guess I have to translate all of my existing remappings into the goku edn format?

Yes. Goku doesn't support combine both formats. But you can simply convert json config to edn use online edn->json converter and put those rules in goku's :rules section like here.

I don't think goku will support this since goku's goal is to replace json config with edn.

OK, I tried this using this converter. I get Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: nth not supported on this type: PersistentArrayMap

Here is the minimal example:

{:main [
 {:des "Test"
  :rules [
   {:from
    {:key_code "u",
     :modifiers
     {:mandatory
      ["left_control" "left_option"],
      :optional ["any"]}},
    :to [{:key_code "left_arrow"}],
    :type "basic"}
   {:from
    {:key_code "k",
     :modifiers
     {:mandatory
      ["left_control" "left_option"],
      :optional ["any"]}},
    :to [{:key_code "down_arrow"}],
    :type "basic"}
    ]
  }
]}

I don't expect you to debug this for me, and I've gotten used to the json format anyway. However, I do think it would be a very nice feature if goku could "import" a json config, converting it into the goku edn format.

you need to convert all "*" to :*

An inbuilt converter would be extremely useful. I currently have a 4k line json file which was generated with my custom ruby configs and colemak bindings.

Goku taking in existing and converting to edn would definitely reduce the barrier of entry.

edit after using goku.

WOAH!! I was able to fit a lot more functionality into ~70 lines, including the colemak bindings. Blown away by the power! Kudos @yqrashawn 🤩
