You obviously mean: How do I do this with Karabiner Elements … ?!?
For one: "Cmd-W"
is not default for closing apps, but "Cmd-Q"
is.
But, if you really want "Cmd-W"
to close an app, here is Karabiner Elements' code:
{ "title": "Make ''Cmd-W'' close the current app.",
"rules": [
{ "description": "Makes ''Cmd-W'' the shortcut for closing apps.",
"manipulators": [
{ "from": { "key_code": "w",
"modifiers": {
"mandatory": ["left_command"] }
},
"to":[
{ "key_code": "q",
"modifiers": ["left_command"],
"repeat": false }],
"type": "basic"
}
]
}
]
}
Copy code to BBEdit (TextEdit) and save to ~/.config./karabiner/assets/complex_modifications
as WhateverYouLike.json
Next open KE, tab "Complex Modifications", click [+ Add rule]
at bottom, scroll down to WhateverYouLike.json
and click [+ Enable]
.
That should be it … KE's modifications work without restart.
(Btw: the "repeat" part makes your shortcut close only ONE app, just to make sure …)
