The Trouble with Karabiner
I woke up this morning and attempted to do some stuff on my mac. I have a docking station that I use for both my Mac Book Pro and my work Windows Laptop.
There is a Code Keyboard1 that is attached and is set to Windows mode (because I use this configuration for work for many more hours that I use it for non work, i.e. macOS stuff)
To help with this I use an app called Karabiner-Elements.
When I plugged my MBP in today none of the Karabiner remapped keys were working as expected (I map alt to command on the left and right side specificall). I tried many things, and eventually discovered that I need to have the following items enabled
Full Disk Access
- karabiner_grabber
- Karabiner-Elements
Something (probably an OS update) seems to have disabled the karabiner_grabber access as I had to switch it back on.
Suddenly everything is back to working as expected.
I would really like that 45 minutes back though. Not a great way to start your day
