hyper with arrow keys doesn't work

[bangedorrunt]

hi,

i have the following config to combine hyper with arrow keys to execute shell command. however it just doesn't work. not sure if this is bug or my fault

{:des "hyper + arrow to resize window"
 :rules [[:!!up_arrow "yabai -m window --grid 1:1:0:0:1:1"]
         [:!!down_arrow "yabai -m window --grid 8:8:1:1:6:6"]
         [:!!left_arrow "yabai -m window --grid 1:2:0:0:1:1"]
         [:!!right_arrow "yabai -m window --grid 1:2:1:0:1:1"]]}

updated: after doing some research, the following worked for me

{:des "hyper + arrow to resize window"
 :rules [[:!!up_arrow "PATH=$PATH:usr/local/bin yabai -m window --grid 1:1:0:0:1:1"]
        [:!!down_arrow "PATH=$PATH:usr/local/bin yabai -m window --grid 8:8:1:1:6:6"]
        [:!!left_arrow "PATH=$PATH:usr/local/bin yabai -m window --grid 1:2:0:0:1:1"]
        [:!!right_arrow "PATH=$PATH:usr/local/bin yabai -m window --grid 1:2:1:0:1:1"]]}

as you can see, i hade to put env PATH before executive command to make it worked. is it possible to let karabiner recognized the homebrew PATH by default?

Yes. That's the solution. You can simply use /usr/local/bin/yabai to replace yabai like here.

@yqrashawn many thanks 👍

@yqrashawn, i found a solution here that might help as a work around. yabai was installed from homebrew and its PATH is not recognized for GUI/.app. we can fixed it by using sudo launchctl config user path "/usr/local/bin:$PATH" and then restart the machine. from now on, you don't have to put the PATH before any shell_command.
