How can I remap arrows keys to other short cut? [duplicate]
I am a programmer, I need to use arrows keys a lot, so can I remap these keys to other keys?
I have downloaded the karabiner, however, I cannot define the complex modifications rules myself, karabiner only provide default rules. Yet, I want some new rule, like arrow up can be triggered by fn + i.
As you are a programmer you won't have any difficulty in editing Karabiner-Elements Complex Modifications yourself.
They are to be found at: ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json
and can even be edited or expanded with BBEdit (or TextEdit).
Here's an example how I configured my own arrow key(s):
{ "description": "Up_arrow to Page_up",
"manipulators": [
{ "from": { "key_code": "up_arrow",
"modifiers": {
"mandatory": ["left_control"] }
},
"to": [ { "key_code": "page_up" } ],
"type": "basic"
}
