Karabiner-elements: shift+control+power not working

[himazu]

With the following configuration, shift+control (physically caps_lock)+power to lock screen does not work.

{
    "profiles": [
        {
            "name": "Default profile",
            "selected": true,
            "simple_modifications": {
                "right_option": "delete_forward",
                "caps_lock": "left_control"
            }
        }
    ]
}

shift+control+eject doesn't work as well.

[kubofonista]

It is not working with any config, if there is an empty profile the problem is the same.

I was cursing over sierra for removing this keyboard shortcut for the last two hours until I found this issue description.

[FlorinMotoc]

I had activated from System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Zoom -> the "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom" which allowed CTRL + Scroll to zoom screen.
Not working anymore after yesterday's update.
I guess it is related to this.

The day before worked ok.

Found Karabiner-Elements-0.90.29.dmg in Trash, restored, installed it. Now it is fixed :D

[princed]

More issues:

• non_us_backslash and grave_accent_and_tilde are swapped by default without any configuration. Workaround: use suggested configuration from README to swap them back 🙈
• My custom shortcuts in BetterTouchTool with PgUp and PgDown do not work as well

Confirm zoom to work on 0.90.29 (direct .dmg link).

[NytroRST]

Still not fixed, I cannot lock my Mac (Sierra last beta).

[AndersTao]

I see the same zoom problem, and it looks like the .29 fix it for now.

The download link did not work for me, but found a link to all version:

Though CGPostKeyboardEvent is deprecated, I found it fixes some problems, including the ctrl-opt-cmd-power to lock, and ctrl-opt-esc to open Force Quit window. (Seems these two are different, as with 0.90.29, the former worked, but the latter didn't)

I guess CGPostKeyboardEvent might be more low-level. I don't think it should be used, but it may be a hint to any solution.

[kubofonista]

Still not working after a fix with shortcut handling

[kubofonista]

And still not working after last updates...

[kip9]

Key press itself doesn't work for me neither, but if you hold all the keys pressed for a bit (I'd guess half of second or a bit more) it does work then. It's still a bit of pain to use though.

[entonio]

Please give some feedback on this. This issue is enormous. I understand you don't owe us anything, rather we owe you; I know these issues are hard to solve, but it would be nice to know whether a solution is coming at all, or if there are currently no plans/possibilities for one.

[onemast]

It's finally fixed with 0.90.67!!!!!!

[kubofonista]

It's not. Still not working on external Apple Bluetooth keyboard

[onemast]

Oh, I only tested on my 2015 Retina MacBook Pro.

[marcohamersma]

I can replicate this issue as well with my Apple Magic Keyboard. My only modification is the simple non_us_backslash to grave_accent_and_tilde. But the display sleep hotkey doesn't work.

If I untick the Magic Keyboard in the Devices tab of Karabiner the hotkey works again.

[kjoonlee]

Yeah, I can reproduce issue #89 and issue #124 with Apple Magic Keyboard too.

[mjbaldwin]

Agreed, Ctrl+Shift+Eject still not putting my display to sleep when I press it on my Magic Keyboard (Sierra, Macbook Air 1.5 yrs old, Magic Keyboard 1 yr old).

[rileyweber13]

455 and #509 are about this same problem.

[woutervanwijk]

same here, apple usb-keyboard

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[hamusi]

How this can be closed if it's still not fixed.

[architchandra]

Still not working.
