Karabiner-Elements: Remap cmd-capslock to cmd-backtick(tilde) (Switch window within an app)
Raw
README.md

What this rule does

On MacOS, cmd-tab only toggles between different apps. To toggle between different windows of the same app, you need to use cmd-` . However this is cumbersome for regular usage, as it requires stretching your fingers unnaturally. This rule allows to use cmd-CapsLock instead, which is much easier.

To enable the rule

  • Install Karabiner Elements and give it all permissions it asks for
  • cd ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications and put the json file below there
  • Restart Karabiner Elements
  • Go to "Complex Modifications > Add rule"
