Karabiner-elements: Mouse click please?

[sargentpilcher]

Hello all, I really love this app karabiner, and it has helped me so much! I recently upgraded to Sierra, and now lost the functionality I had with karabiner. The setup that helps me FLY on the Mac, is changing my right command button to a left mouse click, and my right option key to a right mouse click. Karabiner elements though it seems does not support mouse click functionality at the moment. I'm sure others would appreciate this feature as well. I know you guys are hard at work, so I'll be grateful when it does finally get released! Keep up the great work!

This is the only reason I use karabiner too. Holding out for this feature.
Right command button => left click
Right option button => right click

Lol that’s EXACTLY what I use it for! I feel like I can fly on a laptop with that setup. Kindred computer spirits lol.

It's not so tough if you use something like BetterTouchTool in concert with Karabiner. Try that, if you haven't. It's like a couple of bucks.

This worked for me. Edit /Users/username/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json and add a new behavior:

                        "from": {
                            "key_code": "insert"
                        },
                        "to": {
                            "pointing_button": "button1"
                        }

Thank you incandescentman!
Just to spread the gospel, this is what worked for me!
/Users/username/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json
{ "global": { "check_for_updates_on_startup": true, "show_in_menu_bar": true, "show_profile_name_in_menu_bar": false }, "profiles": [ { "simple_modifications": [ { "from": { "key_code": "right_option" }, "to": { "pointing_button": "button2" } }, { "from": { "key_code": "right_command" }, "to": { "pointing_button": "button1" } },
