This Karabiner-Elements config catches non_us_pound and shift + non_us_pound keystrokes and sends right_option + 3 and shift + `, respectively, resulting in the key working as expected for UK-localised OSX. This is primarily useful when using standard PC keyboards with a Mac.

Add the json block below to ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json under profiles.complex_modifications.rules:

{
    "description": "Hack for correct non_us_pound behaviour",
    "manipulators": [
        {
            "from": {
                "key_code": "non_us_pound"

Fix terraform providers within child modules

The problem

In terraform 0.11.x, providers within child modules are no longer properly supported, e.g. attempting to remove a module which contains the aws provider will result in the following error:

module.<module_name>.<resource>.<resource_name>: configuration for module.<module_name>.provider.aws is not present; a provider configuration block is required for all operations
