Karabiner incompatible with 10.13.1

2017-11-04 Thread Garry Turkington
Hi, Just upgraded my MBP tonight to 10.13.1 and after reboot VO was very broken; basically the VO keys weren't being recognized as a modifier making VO mostly unusable. Given I use Karabiner for mapping keys into VMs I wondered if something there was incompatible. After a little digging I found

I use Fusion with multiple VMs every day and I don't have an issue reliably getting input captured by the VM. What I do is use VO to move right along the buttons on the VM interface. After the "full screen" button I get the name of the VM read out and when focus is on that any keystrokes go to

t concrete confirmation I've seen that the TouchBar has been VO enabled. Be interested how this works in terms of productivity. When in apps that do use good old fashioned function or escape keys its going to be a pain if we have to tap to hear the key and then again to activate it. Garry On 10/28

If you weren't planning to use Fusion I'd say the 2GB new machine is the best bet. Unfortunately running Fusion means you need share the 2GB between both OS X and Windows and with only 2GB you'll run out of memory very quickly. At this point the system starts using the hard drive as virtual
