Cat Mode on OSX
Raw
Readme.md
  1. Install Karabiner-Elements https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/
  2. Save this as your ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json
  3. Launch Karabiner-Elements
  4. You will have a profile called Cat Mode which disables all keys except the power button

There is a github repo which was a Karabiner extension I borrowed some inspiration from. I'll link to it if I find it again.
