Switching Command and Control Keys

Questions & Suggestions

Try this. I built it from the thread you linked and by looking over the examples at the KE-complex_modifications GitHub repo. I don’t have KE installed so I couldn’t actually test it.

Best to keep each configuration in separate files and out of your main global config file. So save this into ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/teamviewer-swap-cmd-ctrl.json

Go into Karabiner Preferences > Complex Modifications > Add rule then enable “Swap Left Control/Command only in Teamviewer”
