Karabiner-elements: I can't remap a key to "underscore"

[Farzy]

I use a TypeMatrix keyboard with a french «bépo» mapping. On this keyboard the underscore "_" is Alt+Space.

On some environments (a VM under Parallels for example) it doesn't work. Therefore I'd like to remap an unused key to "_".

I can't find a way to use simple mapping to do this as "underscore" does appear in the drop-down list. How can I do this? Is this a feature not implemented yet?

I cannot find how to that either. In my case, I just want Right Command to be mapped to Underscore. I tried to map Right Command to Shift and to Minus at the same time (as Shift+Minus = Underscore), but that didn't work.

I am trying to do something similar. I want to map caps lock directly to underscore. Since an underscore is really shift+hyphen, a complex modification is required. I can't figure out any way to add my own complex modification in the app, or submit a file to the website...

But I was able to create a complex modification in ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/underscore_mapping.json to do my mapping. I've included the file, and @kurko I also included your right command mapping.

Download, unzip the file, and move to ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/. Open the app, click on the Complex Modifications tab, click on Add rule, select the rule in the list (it should be there now) and click Enable.
