Config (macOS / iOS) / macOS Apps

Karabiner is core tool I use to remap my keyboard. It's the tool on which my entire mac workflow is built. All keys on my keyboard are dual purpose keys. Press once, it enters the key, hold together with another key and do custom action. I have 100's of these custom actions all within 1 second of activation for me. i.e. is or opens Safari. See for config
