If you like TypeScript and want your Karabiner configuration maintainable & type-safe, you probably want to use the custom configuration DSL / generator I created in rules.ts and utils.ts!
“This repo is incredible - thanks so much for putting it together! I always avoided Karabiner mostly because of its complicated configuration. Your project makes it so much easier to work with and so much more powerful. I'm geeking out on how much faster I'm going to be now.”

You probably don't want to use my exact configuration, as it's optimized for my personal style & usage. Best way to go about using this if you want to? Probably delete all the sublayers in rules.ts and add your own based on your own needs!
