Usage

We do not need Karabiner or Karabiner Elements anymore! Keyboard Maestro does all the work 🔥

We basically remap the following with Keyboard Maestro.

• Once Safari creates a "Secure Input Mode", Keyboard Maestro is disabled.
• To paste passwords into password input fileds you cannot use CTRL+V and need to use CMD+V
• Mission Control default Shortcuts need to be disabled to avoid conflicts:

• CTRL+C is disabled to copy text in Iterm2:
