On Karabiner rules (https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/complex_modifications/), there is a rule for Exchange paren and square bracket
but there is no rule for Exchange square bracket and curly braket
.
[Q] How to exchange square bracket and curly bracket through Karabiner
or any alternative?
Wanted exchange:
[
=> {
and {
=> [
]
=> }
and }
=> ]
This code works for me
{
"description": "Swap {} and []",
"manipulators": [
{
"type": "basic",
"from": {
"key_code": "open_bracket"
},
"to": [
{
"modifiers": ["left_shift"],
"key_code": "open_bracket"
}
]
},
{
"type": "basic",
"from": {
"key_code": "open_bracket",
"modifiers": {
"mandatory": ["left_shift"]
}
},
"to": [
{
"key_code": "open_bracket"
}
]
},
{
"type": "basic",
"from": {
"key_code": "close_bracket"
},
"to": [
{
"modifiers": ["left_shift"],
"key_code": "close_bracket"
}
]
},
{
"type": "basic",
"from": {
"key_code": "close_bracket",
"modifiers": {
"mandatory": ["left_shift"]
}
},
"to": [
{
"key_code": "close_bracket"
}
]
}
]
}
