FAQ

  • Q： Why using ✱ as symbol of hyper key？

    A：Cause asterisk have the ascii code 42, which is the answer to life, the universe, and everything! while itself has meaning 'star'. ✱ (Heavy-Asterisk) is a pretty version of * (Asterisk). Actually I would choose ☯ if Github could render it properly...

  • Q：Why Linux support is missing？

    A：because I choose Mac, and use Linux through terminal.

  • Q: Why there is some different key bindings between Mac version and Win version?

    A: I don't use windows anymore, Win version is no longer maintained. Welcome if you can fix that.

  • Q: Why there's an old Mac version?

    A: Apple is really capricious. macOS Sierra changes it's kernel architecture, so the old version karabiner is incompatible with macOS after 10.12. But now there's a new version of karabiner named karabiner-elements. While karabiner-elements use a new JSON-format conf instead of old XML-format. Please using the new version.
