Karabiner-Elements
A powerful and stable keyboard customizer for macOS.
Caution regarding the latest macOS beta (26.4)
In macOS 26.4 Beta, we have confirmed an issue where key presses on the MacBook's built-in keyboard are not remapped and are entered as-is.
(External keyboards remap key events correctly.)
In the alpha release, a configuration has been introduced that uses CGEventTap to capture events from the built-in keyboard.
You can use it with macOS 26.4 Beta.
Please note that this approach has not been thoroughly tested and comes with more limitations compared to the previous method. The stable version of Karabiner-Elements used with an external keyboard is generally recommended.
