Keyboard and Keystrokes, Alternative Solutions (Formerly "Karabiner, How Safe?")

First thing I looked at in fact was what I quote below: though I agree we should 'retire' from this discussion. The quote is from the topic called "Get the Current Position of a Keyboard Maestro Palette was this, first thing.

The whole thing is wrapped as an anonymous function (you could also call it function run() { …}) because that avoids pollution of the (overpopulated) global namespace, and, above all, means that your own local variables appear grouped in a separate panel of the the Safari JavaScript debugger.

(Wrapping in an anonymous function to get a local namespace sometimes gets called ‘the module pattern’ in discussions of Javascript)

First thing I looked at actually amazingly. I am also sure I was a bit unlucky, some topics are quite 'newbie friendly'.
Nothing wrong with the topic either and I am sure it was useful, but if you that isn't off putting to a Newbie...
Also much of the topic is taken up with substantial bits of Javascript. I am not suggesting we don't put in topics like that by the way, but it might be as well to be aware of some of the impact of them somewhere along the line. I recommend this app and support it, I advise people even to get it, most of them are new not only to the app but to Mac OS, bear that in mind.
