After installation there will be two applications, one is karabiner-elements and the other is karabiner-eventviewer.

The first one is the main program to change the key, the second is the listener of the mouse event, generally less than the second one.

Open Karabiner-elements and click Add Item to add a keyed rule. From key is the physical key, to key is the key you want to map.

Here you can use the Profiles function, create a new configuration (such as Mac default, nothing changed), you can quickly switch configuration.

Not only in the main program can switch, on the menu bar to switch more convenient.
