Karabiner Elements to change keys

Former name for this app was KeyRemap4MacBook. https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements

Install instructions https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/getting-started/installation/ after allowing karabiner_oberver you need to manually add also the karabiner_grabber by selecting Machintos HD -> /Library/Application Support/org.pqrs/Karabiner-Elements/bin/karabiner_grabber https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/issues/1867#issuecomment-498484832

I use following scripts for complex modifications https://github.com/pqrs-org/KE-complex_modifications You can find this site in Karabiner -> Complex rules -> Add rule -> Import more rules from the internet

  • semicolon and colon https://superuser.com/a/1705236/877698
  • curly braces and square brackets https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/437073/449651 https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/#exchange_square_brackets_and_curly_brackets
  • Remap section sign (§) from British Keyboard to US’s backtick + plus minus (±) to tilde (~) grave_accent_and_tilde https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/#section_sign_to_backtick
  • Exchange single and double quote https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/#exchange_single_and_double_quote
  • Exchange numbers and symbols (1234567890 and !@#$%^&*()) https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/#exchange_numbers_and_symbols

  • Left ctrl + hjkl to arrow keys Vim https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/#ctrl_plus_hjkl_to_arrow_keys but I change to caps_lock

  • Caps Lock Vim Movements (rev 2) https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/#capslock_vim_movements
  • custom rule similar to single and double quote, I created for pipe and backslash. I just duplicated existing rule

Changes are visible immediatelly, but I do not use links, I copy from config

cp ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json ~/config/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json
cp ~/config/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json

I added my config to enable bash alt + b/f back forward one word. I need to enable in Termial -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Keyboard -> Use Option as Meta key Also remaped cmd+. to cmd+\ since default keyboard shortcut is Break but not in menu bar, so now I remap to cmd+\ and use another automator to activateWindowDotByBackslash and bind to cmd+

Update packages

Install homebrew Update bash: brew install bash link

brew install coreutils findutils gnu-tar gnu-sed gawk gnutls gnu-indent gnu-getopt
brew info coreutils

brew install bash-completion

Edit Terminal background I tried to be as it is on ubuntu Chose Pro profile on Terminal -> Preferences -> Profiles https://medium.com/@json_singh/ubuntu-like-terminal-in-mac-bash-9afe37b09aa

brew install bash

sudo vi /etc/shells
# add
/opt/homebrew/bin/bash

# and now changing the shell will succeed
chsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/bash

Also change font to Monospace Regular style (you can see it on ubuntu terminall Preferences -> Default -> Text) and size 14. You can also use Ubuntu Mono Regular https://design.ubuntu.com/font/. Copy ttf file to Libraries (in finder use menu item Go -> Library).

Also in terminal profiles Pro select: When the shell exists: “Close if the shell exited cleanly”.

Install meld for mac

On high sierra you need to run https://github.com/yousseb/meld/issues/50

unlink /Applications/Meld.app/Contents/Frameworks/libz.1.dylib

Install java JRE from jre-9.0.4_osx-x64_bin.dmg (not tar.gz) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Double click will install. You can check if installed using https://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp in browser.

Install vim

brew install vim --override-system-vi
# if you receive error
# xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
xcode-select --install

Instal pip

sudo easy_install-3.6 pip
pip3 install awscli  --user --upgrade

iTerm2

You can maps pageup in iterm. Do ⌘ , to open Preferences -> Keys -> Key mappings and add ⌘ [ and ⌘ ] to map scroll page down and up. But that does not work well for vim since it show previous page in terminal buffer (not in vim) so for vim use ^b and ^f (^d and ^u for half down up)

Tips

  • new disks like sd card will be mounted under /Volumes instead of /media or /mnt

AppleScript

You can run and edit scripts in Script Editor. Open Dictionary in File->Open Dictionary or drag application icon to Script Editor application icon.

Sample programs https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/AppleScript_Programming/Sample_Programs

Command is series of words that request an action. Command is directed to a target. Choose file

    set xfile to choose file
    set xpath to POSIX path of xfile

Debugging with display dialog "message". Use double quotes, not single quote.

Array list iterate loop

set theList {1, 2, 3}
set first as item 1 of theList
set first to item 1 of theList

String manipulation https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/MacAutomationScriptingGuide/ManipulateText.html

Split string

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "-"
set theTextItems to every text item of windowNameId
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set windowId to item 2 of the theTextItems

You can run scripts inside bash with osascript -e 'display dialog "Hi"' or for shell scripts (you need to chmod +x filename.txt

#!/usr/bin/osascript
display dialog "Hi"

You can also call scpt file

osascript ~/myscript.scpt

Activate window

iTerm supports hotkeys https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-hotkey.html but it is not generic. I rather write window id and hotkey combination in user store using a b or b h commands

do shell script "defaults write com.myname.myapp foo bar"
set myValue to do shell script "defaults read com.myname.myapp foo"

To assign keyboard shortcuts you need to create a service in Automator and create shortcut in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Services That is available in all apps, you can find them on main menu using app name on top left position -> Services. If there is already some shortcut than you need to remap it to another key, I use same with a shift.

Create service for each key, for example activateWindowL (/home/orlovic/Library/Services/activateWindowL.workflow).

on run {input, parameters}
    -- note that mac path is using colons instead of slash
    run script file "Macintosh HD:Users:dule:config:bashrc:mac_scripts:mac_activate_window.scpt" with parameters {"l"}
    return input
end run

Or you can copy all

cp -r ~/config/bashrc/mac_scripts/Library/Services/* ~/Library/Services/
# copy back the changes so we can save them in repo
cp -r ~/Library/Services/* ~/config/bashrc/mac_scripts/Library/Services/

For Input Sources I changed keyboard shortcut key ctrl+space Select the previous input source to shift+ctrl+space (so I do not accidentally hold ctrl and space) and change kayboard language. You can disable any special key for any app so we can use it for our navigation. From System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> App Chortcuts -> + than select the app and write exact name and add shortcut uncluding ⌥ key:

  • for iTerm I do not need Clear Buffer so now it is ⌘ ⌥ M
  • Mission control -> Move left space I remaped to ^ ⌘ h (also right space ^ ⌘ l)
  • to disable hide front app, it has to be done for each app, for example, Hide Terminal should be remaped to cmd + shift + h . You can find this menu item in first menu dropdown. here is the list of all mappings:
  • All Applications: Minimise ⇧ ⌘ J
  • Finder: Connect to Server ⇧ ⌘ K
  • Terminal: Clear to Previous Mark ⇧ ⌘ L, Jump to Selection ⇧ ⌘ J, Clear to Start ⇧ ⌘ K, Hide Terminal ⇧ ⌘ H
  • Google Chrome: Hide Google Chrome ⇧ ⌘ H, Jump to Selection ⇧ ⌘ J, Open Location… ⇧ ⌘ L
  • Preview: Rotate Left ⇧ ⌘ L
  • Firefox: Downloads ⇧ ⌘ J, Hide Firefox ⇧ ⌘ H

Mac keyboard shortcuts

My custom keyboard shortcuts

  • Mission Controller -> Move left a space fn + cmd + h and Move right a space fn
    • cmd + l

Mysql

brew install mysql will will use /tmp/mysql.sock so you can create link to ubuntu folder of mysql socket file

sudo mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld
sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

To start mysql server you can run

mysql.server start

For error

Starting MySQL

try to reinstall https://stackoverflow.com/a/36156848

brew remove [email protected]

sudo rm -rf /opt/homebrew/var/mysql

brew install [email protected]
mysqld --initialize --explicit_defaults_for_timestamp
mysql.server start # no sudo!

To find location of mysql config files

brew --prefix mysql
ls  -la $(brew --prefix mysql)
find /opt/homebrew/Cellar/mysql/8.0.28_1 -name "*.cnf"
vi /opt/homebrew/Cellar/mysql/8.0.28_1/.bottle/etc/my.cnf

To permanently change socket file location you can update

# find all places where mysql is searching for my.cnf
mysql --help|grep cnf

sudo vi ~/.my.cnf
[client]
socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

To see error log

tail -f /usr/local/var/mysql/mac.local.err

Usually enable permissions for sudo chown _mysql /usr/local/var/mysql/* but it is easier to enable for all

sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local/var/mysql/
sudo chmod 777  /var/run/mysqld/

Errors

On Mac I got error for libsassc

For error

Could not find MIME type database in the following locations:

For error libv8 therubyracer

I used https://github.com/rubyjs/libv8/issues/312#issuecomment-807104369 to install old x86 version of v8 (they also suggest to upgrade to ruby 2.7.1 https://github.com/rubyjs/libv8/issues/312#issuecomment-1023055391 ) We can also replace therubyracer with mini_racer https://github.com/rubyjs/libv8/issues/282#issuecomment-778845927 and https://github.com/rubyjs/libv8/issues/309

brew install v8

gem install libv8-node -v '16.10.0.0' -- --with-system-v8

pyenv global 3.9.1

gem install mini_racer -- --with-v8-dir=`brew --prefix v8`
gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.3' -- --with-v8-dir=`brew --prefix v8`

Also do cleanup before installing

gem uninstall --all mini_racer libv8-node

for error

checking for -lmysqlclient... no
-----
mysql client is missing. You may need to 'brew install mysql' or 'port install
mysql', and try again.

I solved with

brew install mysql
We've installed your MySQL database without a root password. To secure it run:
    mysql_secure_installation

MySQL is configured to only allow connections from localhost by default

To connect run:
    mysql -uroot

To restart mysql after an upgrade:
  brew services restart mysql
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  /opt/homebrew/opt/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/opt/homebrew/var/mysql

For error

brew info openssl
If you need to have [email protected] first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="$(brew --prefix [email protected])/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

For compilers to find [email protected] you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl@3)/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl@3)/include"

For pkg-config to find [email protected] you may need to set:
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix [email protected])/lib/pkgconfig"

for grpc https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/30976#issuecomment-1299550028 you can either

# recompile ruby

# gem install
gem install grpc -v 1.48.0 -- --with-ldflags="-Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup"

# bundle config
bundle config build.grpc --with-ldflags="-Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup"

when you also need to install ffi than join path with colon : ffi error

install ruby closure.c:264:14: error: implicit declaration of function 'ffi_prep_closure' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

so I solved with steps for rvm https://github.com/ffi/ffi/issues/869#issuecomment-810890178 https://github.com/ffi/ffi/issues/869#issuecomment-1233000037

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/libffi/lib"

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig:$(brew --prefix [email protected])/lib/pkgconfig"
export RUBY_CFLAGS=-DUSE_FFI_CLOSURE_ALLOC
bundle update ffi
# or
rvm reinstall 2.6.8

No need for –with-openssl-dir since it does not help

--with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix [email protected]`

I solved with

# uninstall old version global and bundle
bundle remove eventmachine
gem uninstall -aIx eventmachine 

# configure
# this will raise error for C extension
# bundle config build.eventmachine --with-cppflags=-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include
bundle config build.eventmachine --with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])
bundle install
# or just a gem
gem install eventmachine -- --with-cppflags=-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include
# or set the system
brew link --force openssl

export RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix [email protected]`"

To install old ruby 2.6.7 for error

vm.c:2295:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'rb_native_mutex_destroy' is invalid in C99

we need

CFLAGS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration" rbenv install 2.6.7

but ruby 2.6.7 EOL so can not install on m1, and you should use 2.7.0

For error

closure.c:264:14: error: implicit declaration of function 'ffi_prep_closure' is invalid in C99

you can use

RUBY_CFLAGS=-DUSE_FFI_CLOSURE_ALLOC rbenv install 2.7.0

  • you can use Real VNC to connect to ubuntu (just enable Share -> Remove desktop) but it shows black screen Better is to use native vnc clint from Finder -> Go -> Connect to server or just open vnc://user@machine (eg open vnc://dule@power) Note that on ubuntu you have to do login in order to unlock Keyring (for example f you have autologin enabled you will not be able to connect with VNC, it will just ask for password indefinitely, until you open eg Chrome which will ask you to unlock keyring). One solution is to set empty Login password https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-disable-keyring-popup-on-ubuntu Search for application (not inside Settings) Passwords and Keys > right click on Login > Insert current password > insert blank password and confirm blank password. Now you do not need to unlock keyring. When vnc password is changed, than you will get error Authentication failed to "power". I do not know how to clear saved passwords for Finder. Another case when Authentication failed is when you restart but ubuntu but vnc session is still active (not always). Solution is to restart vnc server on ubuntu by disabling and enabling remote desktop again (and Enable Legacy VNC Protocol should be checked)
