3. Software configuration

In the Karabiner main interface, a lot of key mapping schemes have been provided, which can flexibly choose the solution you need. As follows:

　

The Karabiner also provides a custom key mapping. Through the Private.xml file, the user can easily design suitable for their own key solutions.

　　

Several important configuration items in the Private.xml:

1.devicevendordef: Manufacturer of keyboards; VendorName: Custom name (unique); VendorID: Vendor number

2.deviceproductdef: Model of the keyboard; ProductName: Custom name (unique); VendorID: Model number

The above two items can be viewed in Karabiner->launch eventviewer->devices (provided the keyboard is already plugged in):

3.item: Configure the interface for configuration items, as follows:

Name: Description displayed on the interface

Identifier: identification

Device_only: Only devices declared here will apply our configuration, and if not, it means that all devices are generic.
