Use Karabiner to solve the problem that some software keypad on Mac can't be used

Most of the software on the MAC external USB keyboard support is good, but there are some software is lazy, such as I recently encountered a software is not support keypad input numbers, and with the big keyboard number keys is no problem, it is wonderful.

Wonderful work, the problem is still to be solved. A little research on this problem, found that you can use the Karabiner software to map the keyboard. For my needs, it is to map the number keys on the keypad to the number keys on the large keyboard. The implementation is not very difficult, first I modified the Private.xml file content:

The following two pages are referenced in the modification of the XML file:

How do I find the key values for each key?

This can be solved by the "Launch eventviewer" tool on the Karabiner menu, where you will see the key values for each key you press.

Karabiner is open source software developed by the Japanese, or is quite powerful, itself with many mapping functions. If you want, you can map any key on the keyboard.
