Hi Vlad,
unfortunately, customizing Karabiner is not for the faint of the heart. I
highly recommend reading through the documentation and the private.xml
Reference Manual:
https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/document.html#privatexml
https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/xml.html.en
To get you started, the XML part for configuring the D+K = copy functionality
in the private.xml:
<item>
<name>D+K for Copy</name>
<identifier>remap.d_plus_k_for_copy</identifier>
<autogen>__SimultaneousKeyPresses__ KeyCode::D, KeyCode::K, KeyCode::C,
ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>
</item>
Especially useful: With setting <only>BBEdit</only> you can restrict the
remapping to our favorite text editor.
To get a glimpse at the general possibilities see the pre-packed examples in
the „Change Key“ tab of Karabiner.
For using it with BBEdit I find it especially useful to remap Caps Lock to
„Hyper“ (cmd+alt+ctrl+shift) - it gives you a new modifier key you can use for
calling all that menu items and scripts when running out of „free“ shortcuts
:-).
The XML for that (you also have to set Caps Lock to „no function“ in OS X
keyboard system preferences):
<item>
<name>Remap Caps Lock to Hyper</name>
<appendix>OS X doesn't have a Hyper. This maps Left Control to Control +
Shift + Option + Command.</appendix>
<identifier>caps_lock_to_hyper</identifier>
<autogen>
--KeyToKey--
KeyCode::F19,
KeyCode::COMMAND_L,
ModifierFlag::OPTION_L | ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L
</autogen>
</item>
I hope this is not too off-topic for this list, but IMO BBEdit can profit a lot
from this tool.
Have fun tinkering your keys,
Roland
