from.simultaneous
simultaneous
manipulates keys which are pressed simultaneously in 50 milliseconds.
Example
This json defines manipulator which changes a+s+d
to mission_control
.
{
"description": "Pressing the a,s,d keys simultaneously launches Mission Control",
"manipulators": [
{
"type": "basic",
"from": {
"simultaneous": [
{ "key_code": "a" },
{ "key_code": "s" },
{ "key_code": "d" }
],
"modifiers": { "optional": ["any"] }
},
"to": [{ "apple_vendor_keyboard_key_code": "mission_control" }]
}
]
}
Note
There are some cases simultaneous
does not modify events.
simultaneous
does not modify events if anyfrom
events are released before allfrom
events are pressed.simultaneous
does not modify events iffrom
events are interrupted by another key_down event.
Manipulated input #1
- Input:
a
key_downs
key_downd
key_down
- Output:
mission_control
Manipulated input #2
- Input:
s
key_downa
key_downd
key_down
- Output:
mission_control
Not manipulated input #1
a
is released before all input events are pressed.
- Input:
a
key_downs
key_downa
key_upd
key_down
- Output:
a
key_downs
key_downa
key_upd
key_down
Not manipulated input #2
Another key (f
) is pressed before all input events are pressed.
- Input:
a
key_downs
key_downf
key_downd
key_down
- Output:
a
key_downs
key_downf
key_downd
key_down
About key_up
The key_up event is posted when you release any from
events.
For example, changing tab+q
to mission_control
works as follows.
Input | Output |
---|---|
tab key_down |
— |
q key_down |
mission_control key_down |
tab key_up |
mission_control key_up |
q key_up |
— |
Change threshold milliseconds
You can adjust threshold on Karabiner-Elements Settings > Parameters.
It is same as adjusting basic.simultaneous_threshold_milliseconds
parameter in json.
