@NicolasVanhecke my apologies, but I never was notified of your comment, otherwise I would have tried to respond!

I'm not sure off hand what might be going on with your problem, but I will say that, if you're on MacOS Sierra, Karabiner doesn't work any more and you'd need Karabiner Elements instead. That's actually what I'm using now and it has a GUI for mapping keys per device (which is a relatively new feature). It's a lot easier than messing with the private.xml file.

Regarding notifications... oh. This is why - isaacs/github#21. 🤦‍♂️

See latest Karabiner Elements support to give me all of these options at https://github.com/drmohundro/dotfiles/blob/master/config/karabiner/karabiner.json.
