the red keys are ones I never press, the orange ones rarely press enable key remapping by pressing Progrm + F12, then sequences of keys: press they key you want it to be first, then the key you will press to get that

general setting

• reset everything: Progrm + Shift + F2
• turn off key clicks: Progrm + backslash (right side)

bare minimum needed even with Karabiner full remap

• Tab --> Caps Lock
• Esc --> Tab

remap (any platform)

• Tab --> Caps Lock
• Esc --> Tab
• Back Space --> Ctrl (left)
• Delete --> Alt (left)
• Down Arrow --> ]}
• [{ --> Down Arrow
• ]} --> [{

remap - mac mode on mac

• Ctrl (labeled Cmd / Windows) --> Back Space
• Cmd (labeled Ctrl - use left side) --> Delete
• Option (labeled Alt) --> left side \

remap - windows mode on windows

• Ctrl --> Back Space
• Alt --> Delete
• Cmd / Windows --> End

remap via macros (backwards orientation of regular remapping - key first, then what you want it to do)

• make sure all regular remppings are done first!!
• backslash (right side) --> underscore (used to do this, but using Karabiner for this now instead)

reference: modifier keys when in Windows mode, on OS X

• Both Ctrl keys are Ctrl
• Alt is Option
• The Cmd + Windows key is Cmd

reference: modifier keys in Mac mode, on OS X (these seem silly to me)

• Both Ctrl keys are Cmd
• Alt is Option
• The Cmd + Windows key is Ctrl

notes: keys that I don't have anywhere

• End
• Caps Lock

TODO

• there are two |\ keys -- one on the right, and one on the left -- figure out a better use for one of them
