Guide on how to remap Keyboard keys on macOS

Guide on how to remap Keyboard keys on macOS

Update 17.10.2024: macOS 15 no longer requires root privileges for hidutil, you need to add hidutil and Terminal to 'Input Monitoring' in Settings/Privacy & Security tab.

Update 13.04.2024: On macOS 14.2 hidutil requires root privileges.

If you have a mac with an INT (ISO) keyboard you might want to change the ± key to ~. During my research I found that the information on this topic is not at all centralized. I prefer this option because it does not involve installing new software.

With macOS 10.12 Sierra Apple introduced hidutil as a tool to remap keyboard keys. See TN2450.

Notes for working with Xcode VIM mode

Xcode VIM

Learning VIM in Xcode comes with its own set of challenges and limitations, but there is enough there for you to give your mousing hand a break and master the keyboard.

A limited set of commands are available in Xcode, and this document attempts help ease the learning curve of using VIM in Xcode by providing a handy reference as well as what I find works for me in practice.

NOTE: Commands are case-sensitive. A command of N means pressing shift + n on the keyboard.

This document is a work in progress! Leave a comment if you would like to see a change.
