Keyboard remapping on macOS uses Goku EDN syntax to translate concise keybinding configurations into Karabiner-Elements JSON automatically. This eliminates manual JSON editing while supporting layers, simlayers, app-specific shortcuts, modifier sets, and device constraints in a readable format.

Yes. Karabiner-Elements supports application-specific shortcuts through conditional remapping. You can define keybindings that activate only in certain apps, create custom layers for workflow-specific shortcuts, and organize complex binding sets using reusable templates in EDN syntax.

Define layers and simlayers in Goku EDN syntax, which compiles directly to Karabiner JSON configuration. Layers activate conditionally, simlayers combine modifier and key presses, and templates reduce repetition—enabling multi-layered keyboard productivity setups without manual JSON authoring.

You can modify karabiner.edn directly using EDN syntax, which is then compiled to Karabiner JSON. The Skill handles the translation from readable EDN keybinding definitions to the JSON format Karabiner-Elements requires, eliminating hand-written JSON complexity.

Yes. Karabiner remapping supports device constraints, allowing bindings to activate only on specific keyboards, and modifier sets for flexible key combinations. Goku EDN syntax handles these conditions concisely before compiling to Karabiner JSON configuration.

Karabiner-Elements works on macOS only and requires configuration through karabiner.edn files. Complex conditions, simlayers, and device-specific logic increase configuration density; overly nested layers may reduce performance or readability without careful template design.
