IJKLarrows

A Karabiner-like, key remapping utility for macOS, doing the following:

• transforms any Right Cmd+I/J/K/L keypress into a Up/Left/Down/Right Arrow keypress.
• (optionally) switches the ` and § keys

Tested on macOS Sierra, El Capitan, Sonoma.

Build and run

Compile it with XCode and run the resulting app (with sudo).

swiftc -O IJKLarrows/main.swift -o arrows
./arrows

You may also get into XCode and build or run it from the UI.

Options

Use the --tilde command line to remap the § key to ~ and viceversa.

You may want to run it with nohup ./arrows &, which will keep it running even after the terminal ends. To kill it, use pkill arrows.

Troubleshooting

If not working try to add the program in the list of applications allowed to control the computer (Settings > Privacy and Security > Accessibility)
