Using hidutil to map macOS keyboard keys – rakhesh.com

I am a Karabiner Elements user and had donated to it previously and even talked about some custom key mappings I use. Things had a been a bit spotty with it since macOS Big Sur but with the latest version 13.0 and macOS 11.0, 11.1, and 11.2 things were fine. However, yesterday I updated one of my Macs to 11.3 Beta and that broke Karabiner. In addition to it I noticed that my M1 Mac always reports that it restarted due to a kernel panic whenever I restart; and when I Googled for the panic report entries the first hit was Karabiner. Looks like things aren’t entirely with Karabiner and macOS Big Sur after all.

MacStories Starter Pack: Introducing Obsidian Shortcut Launcher, A Free Plugin to Trigger Shortcuts from Obsidian - MacStories

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that, over the past year, Obsidian has become as essential to my workflow as Shortcuts. As I have been thoroughly documenting in the My Obsidian Setup series for Club MacStories members, Obsidian – which is the MacStories Selects 2021 App of the Year – is more than a text editor: it’s something more similar to an OS for writers that encompasses note-taking, Markdown writing, journaling, research, and more. At this point, just like I can’t imagine using Apple devices without Shortcuts, I can’t imagine taking notes or writing articles without Obsidian.
