Andy D 0 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I use Karabiner and Hammerspoon on my mac to remap the caps lock key. On my macbook, it works as expected. Via Synergy, the caps lock mapping does not work / it gets treated as caps lock. Anything I can do to address this? Link to post Share on other sites
Andy D 0 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Bumping this up - I don't understand why the caps lock is being passed in a way that Karabiner does not recognize it and instead works as a caps lock Link to post Share on other sites
Sheffer 0 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I ran into this problem recently. What I have discovered is that for Karabiner to work, it has to have a keyboard under Devices to attach triggers/functions to. Synergy is not appearing there as a keyboard, it sends it commands and keypresses directly to the OS, thus bypassing Karabiner completely. This applies to all keys, not only CapsLock. One solution would be to present synergy as a virtual keyboard of sorts so Karabiner can see it. OR change how Karabiner works so it can detect the keypresses in some othe way. I think either solution is (guessing here) not easy to implement. That said, it sure is on my wishlist. Link to post Share on other sites
