keyboard – Put in Karabiner, now getting § as an alternative of tilde/backtick


Glad New Yr everybody!

MBP 14 M3 Professional with all current updates. US English format.

This all began as a result of I needed to map LOpt + ijkl to arrow keys in order that I did not have to maneuver my proper hand from the house row to navigate. I need to set this for the built-in keyboard and for my exterior Qwertykeys QK100.

I did some research which pointed me to Karabiner-Parts, so I put in that through brew.

Not solely have I not found out how you can configure Karabiner correctly, however ever since, my exterior keyboard’s tilde/backtick key has been producing §/± as an alternative, regardless of all seen System Settings being US English/ANSI. The interior keyboard works superb and produces `/~. I even uninstalled Karabiner, since that was when the issue began, nonetheless, I am nonetheless caught on §/±.

Can somebody please assist me restore my exterior keyboard’s tilde key so I can get on with making an attempt to determine how you can remap ijkl as non-compulsory arrow keys?

EDIT: I’ve reinstalled Karabiner and tried to remap non_us_backslash to grave_accent_and_tilde to no avail. I nonetheless get §/±.

I’ve additionally observed that the keyboard solely does this in Mac mode. I’ve ensured that the keyboard’s software program accurately maps the important thing to grave accent/tilde, nonetheless, switching again to “Win” mode resolves the issue. Sadly, it additionally deprives me of the proper modifier keys, so I would wish to hold Mac mode on. I’ve reached out to the mfct to see in the event that they may help, however because it solely happens on MacOS I am undecided if it is an issue on their facet.

EDIT2: My present workaround is to make use of the QK100 software program to map `/~ to NUBS after which use Karabiner to map NUBS to grave accent/~. This has restored the conventional performance however I would actually wish to know what the issue is.
