Karabiner
Karabiner Elements is a powerful keyboard customization utility for macOS that allows users to remap keys, create custom keyboard shortcuts, and automate complex key sequences. It's especially popular among developers, power users, and accessibility-focused individuals who need to adapt their keyboards to non-standard layouts or customize their workflow. The app intercepts keyboard input at the system level and can apply conditional rules based on device, application, or other triggers. Common use cases include remapping Caps Lock to Escape, creating modal layers on standard keyboards, supporting international layouts, and accommodating accessibility needs for users with mobility considerations.
