Project Status

Beta, please report any bugs or incomplete installation instructions as GitHub issues.

Installation

I do not have an Apple Developer license at the moment that would me allow to distribute a ready-made installable package. Thus, it is necessary to build Karabiner-Elements-Neo yourself. Follow these instructions. Once you build the installable package:

1. Open the DMG file and follow the instructions.
2. Open Karabiner-Elements and add the following “Simple Modifications”:
   • backslash (\) to right_option
   • caps_lock to right_option
   • grave_accent_and_tilde (`) to right_command
3. Download the keyboard layout file and move it either to ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts (personal installation) or /Library/Keyboard Layouts (system wide installation). You have the choice between to keyboard layout files:
   • The one provided on neo-layout.org.
   • Or my modified on which mainly improves the caps lock layout (e.g. use shift to type lowercase).
4. Select the Neo2 keyboard layout in your system settings.
