Remap rshift

Open TheNoim opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hey,

I try to remap the rshift key, because the macbook has awful small arrow up and arrow down keys. I want to remap rshift with arrow up and arrow up with arrow down. I never used the rshift key anyway, so why not remap it and get a bigger keypad.

I tried

rshift : skhd -k "up"

and

0x3C : skhd -k "up"

The first one just results in #5:10 expected '-'. The second one in nothing. Is 0x3C even the correct key code? skhd -o shows it when I press rshift.

I don't think you can remap just modifier keys. The latest Mac OS allows you to do that via its settings somewhat better than before, but not as fine-grained as one would like.

dang, this put a nail further in the coffin for remapping caps lock to backspace :( +1 for remapping modifiers themselves - with more options than Apple gave us.
