So it would be possible for the command to not fire if too much time passed between holding down fn and tapping the other modifier key. With BTT Key Sequences you set a maximum delay between keystrokes. Now it is sort of possible to set up these shortcuts in BetterTouchTool by setting up a Key Sequence.

Second, it frees up the ⌃⌥⌘+arrow shortcuts for something more useful, probably in my editor, but I haven’t yet figure out what magic to invoke with that very special combination.īut how to set up those key combos? Things are complicated by the fact that I want to trigger a command by tapping a modifier key (like command or control) rather than a standard key. So while holding down the fn key I could tap any of the other modifier keys on the left side of the keyboard to control windows. My trimmed down idea was to set up the following shortcuts 2: Shortcut Why don’t I add a bunch of new shortcuts that use it?” We’ve got the Command, Option, and Control keys and holding down each one gives you an entire new layer of commands. It was more along the lines of “I’ve got this fn key. I wondered if it was possible to hold down the fn key to enter a sort of “Window Management Mode.” The idea was bigger than that, really. But I wanted to try something different and get a little crazy. Like I said, I’ve done this for years, and it works fine. If I hold down ⌃⌥⌘ I can then tap the four arrow keys to resize/reposition windows: Shortcut To keep from overcomplicating this, let’s just say that I have four shortcuts for four common window management commands. This is a story about how I figured out how to set up modifiers in Karabiner Elements to trigger actions in BetterTouchTool.įor years I’ve used BetterTouchTool keyboard shortcuts for window management. I no longer use the crazy fn + modifier shortcuts I describe, but the info about how to trigger BetterTouchTool commands via Karabiner is still useful so I’m publishing this now. I had this draft sitting in Bear for around nine months now and never published it.
