macOS key remapping - background in this blog post: https://blog.codefront.net/2020/06/24/remapping-keys-on-macos
<!--
Put this file in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.example.KeyRemapping.plist to
automatically remap your keys when macOS starts.
See https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2450/_index.html for
the key "usage IDs". Take the usage ID and add 0x700000000 to it before putting it
into a source or destination (HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc and
HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst respectively).
