Section § key definisiton missing about karabiner-elements

[tekezo]

You can find the raw key code value in get_cg_key_map in types.hpp.

      map[key_code(kHIDUsage_KeyboardNonUSBackslash)] = 0xa;

Please use non_us_backslash.

@swapab I've just come across this, and you're not going to believe me, but switching those around (i.e. FROM grave TO backslash) fixed it for me. I've no idea why, but it seemed to work. Hope that helps.

Even I have a MacBook with DE keyboard layout where I would like to swap the § (non_us_backslash key) with ` (tilde key)

I have done following configuration in Karabiner, but it's not having any effect.

@borodiychuk I have the same issue. This configuration works for me.

{
    "profiles": [
        {
            "name": "Default profile",
            "selected": true,
            "simple_modifications": {
                "caps_lock": "left_control",
                "non_us_backslash": "grave_accent_and_tilde",
                "left_control" : "right_option"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Specifically, "non_us_backslash": "grave_accent_and_tilde". Also see #7

@swapab posting output of Karabiner-Elements event viewer would add more information.

I have the same configuration as yours and it has been working for 2 years now.
