The sudo hdutil stopped working for me as of today (macos 15.2) with the following error:

$ sudo hidutil property --set '{"UserKeyMapping": [{"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc": 0x700000064, "HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst": 0x700000035}]}'

Attempt to remap alphanumerics / special characters. If setting fails, ensure Terminal has input monitoring permissions.

This Hammerspoon config works and saved my day! Thank you! 🎉

@VojtechVitek hdutil shouldn't need sudo after MacOS 15.2 update any more. Did you try without?

$ hidutil property --set '{"UserKeyMapping": [{"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc": 0x700000064, "HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst": 0x700000035}]}'

Add Terminal to your settings : https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/control-access-to-input-monitoring-on-mac-mchl4cedafb6/mac

My current MacBook has the American keyboard layout, so I don't need this anymore, however, it is important to keep this updated for those who need it.

Thank you @ghigt and @VojtechVitek. I updated the first comment to reflect your findings.
