- Home and End aren't very useful on macOS. Similar functionality can be achieved with OPTION + Up (start of line), and OPTION + Down (end of line).Note that those would be COMMAND + Up and COMMAND + Down with the provided bindings.
⚠️ If you already use Karabiner: follow the advanced steps to avoid loss of current settings.
Copykarabiner.json to your Karabiner config directory.This will result in Karabiner reading two profiles; 'Default macOS' and 'CAPSLOCK + IJKL'.Select 'CAPSLOCK + IJKL' and you are all set!
If you already have your own profile and you only want to add the complex modifications, follow these steps.
Inkarabiner.json locate the profile 'CAPSLOCK + IJKL' and copy all the desired modifications from the 'rules' section (lines 153 to 844).
