It seems the spacebar behavior can be improved by using BlockUntilKeyUp or HoldingKeyToKey, but the syntax is confusing enough that it's not obvious to me how to use it here.

More details here: pqrs-org/Karabiner-archived#229

KeyDownUpToKey may also work.

@orand I'll play with those when it starts to annoy me, in the mean time if you find anything let me know 😄

@orand BlockUntilKeyUp did the job swimmingly as far as I can tell. Easy to set up too. Thanks for the pointer!

@wmertens, I just tried it, that's a major improvement! Thanks so much!

@orand now the next annoying thing is shift+green, which requires pressing shift after pressing the spacebar. Hmmm. I'm really looking forward to my textblade 😄.

Very cool, thanks for this!

Latest update is smarter about a few things and supports Colemak. Simply use the OS X Colemak layout and turn on the appropriate option in the config.

@orand btw I fixed shift+green :)

I'm having a problem understanding a one thing. I was going to post over at TextBlade forum but I'm still waiting on there approval so I thought I'd ask here instead. I seem to have a problem with the colon/semicolon. It's producing just a p or P with green engaged. Any ideas?

Am I missing something? I'm holding down the spacebar, typing, and nothing special is happening. Karabiner is installed, the option is enabled, and the other settings seem to work... ?

@orand @evillemez I made a new version that works with the internal keyboard and the TB simultaneously.

@architek1 sorry I missed your comment, I'll check my filters. I changed the way it works, can you try again? Make sure you enable the qwerty option though.

@danshev not sure, can you try with the new version? It also helps to look at the EventViewer app (under the Misc tab in Karabiner)

@wmertens -- new version is the current Gist, ya?

Using a late 2015 MBP and everything works except for the "Green Layer" options ... anyone else seeing this?

Update: Added an option to use cmd+option+tab for switching between windows.

@danshev: it works on my late MBP… can you look at eventviewer to see what the key events are when you type space+d?

Settings enabled:

• QWERTY
• Enable me
• Activate Green Layer by spacebar

With the above enabled, when I tap (press and release) the spacebar, I receive KeyDown and KeyUp events (code 0x31) ... when I hold the spacebar down, nothing registers. Holding the spacebar down and then pressing "d", the UI output I get is just a d ... EventViewer-wise, I get:

eventType:KeyDown code:0x2 name:d flags: misc:KeyCode::D characters:d
eventType:KeyUp code:0x2 name:d flags: misc:KeyCode::D characters:d

So, to be clear, the above is all I get from EventViewer if I hold down the spacebar and press d (i.e. space+d).

@danshev aha, the green layer was in the selection definitions. I moved it into the Enable Me section, so it should work now.

I highly recommend using the edit/select mode though, having a cursor on home row is great!

Great stuff, thank you! I hadn't enabled the Edit/Select mode because I didn't understand what it was ... taking things one step at a time :)

In fact, I still don't really understand what Edit/Select mode does (?).

@danshev actually I managed to break things by doing this, need to fix it. Until I do, better to use the previous revision at https://gist.github.com/wmertens/e3541192f1a769eda908/b3cb84a39c7123490d79c351d258b5518b51c3ff.

The edit/select layer is basically for cursor movements without taking your hands off home row. See the video at https://waytools.com/tech/1/home-row-cursor

Hi, I've been following the WayTools forums, just never joined, and started using Karabiner based on this thread. https://forum.waytools.com/t/emulating-textblade-on-os-x/298/27.

Thanks for putting that together as I feel I'll be able to hit the ground running when I eventually get my TextBlade.

I think I got the CMD, CTRL, OPT shortcuts figured out using Z X C V combos. I forked this gist and added the changes. The only issues I've seen using EventViewer is that sometimes it doesn't want to generate CTRL + OPT when pressing Z+X+C, but instead sends a Z + OPT sequence.

@pattieja1 cool, thanks for that! I'll try it out and add them here. I've gotten really used to the combos on the TextBlade.

Sadly, it turns out that github doesn't send email when a gist gets a comment, so I need to remember to check here every so often.

I finally got around to updating the gist, now it has the modifiers from @pattieja1 (right side as well) and window switching shortcuts.

Thanks for integrating my changes but now Green-semi is spitting out ' not ). I'm going to revert back to my version since a quick look/hack on the private.xml isn't fixing it.

Unfortunately, no matter what I've done (going back to previous versions of the config, updating Karabiner, rebooting) I can't get ) to come out on the green layer on my work laptop. My personal laptop at home works fine with the new version, which is very weird.
