If you also want to get rid of BetterTouchTool's settings files (usually only a few KB, thus that's not really necessary), delete. However, it is more geared to customizing various different devices individually, and custom keyboards or unusual input devices it can even take a MIDI (musical instrument controller) and translate the signals into commands sequences or entering blocks of text or whatever you can imagine by pressing the keys, buttons or manipulating the knobs, sliders, etc.Uninstall If you ever need to uninstall BetterTouchTool, just delete it's app file from your Applications folder (or the folder you put it after downloading & unzipping it).
#Bettertouchtool uninstall free
It isn't free but considering what it can do I've found it well worth the cost which is $25 (including free updates).
#Bettertouchtool uninstall software
Hope that is helpful if you haven't already figured it all out.Īnother extremely powerful and flexible software tool you may be interested in is called "ControllerMate" by OrderedBytes.

Now you can save the layout, and install it to test. Just click the button to Leave deadkey state above the virtual keyboard. Now find the name of the state (often just numbers) that you noted earlier and select that. In your new modifier set/layer find the key where you want to put that deadkey and right click and choose Make deadkey. Now make sure the original layer will no longer be activated by Command (edit it and remove the Command modifier).

Click the + to add a new modifier layer, create a new layer but choose to duplicate the mapping of the current/active layer, Select the appropriate modifiers that will activate the layer. Normally the command key shares the mapping of the keyboard without any other modifiers, but not always- (to get to the modifier layers, click the modifiers tab in the main window with the virtual keyboard by the way you'll have to open a copy of the keyboard you want to edit from within Ukelele, it can duplicate any active keyboard that's the easiest way.) Find the layer that is activated by the Command key- layers can sometimes be activated by multiple sets of modifiers. If you want the dead key only to work with the Command key, you'll have to create a new modifier layer. To make it into a regular key, right click the deadkey and select "Make output." type whatever you want for the key output when you press it. Find the dead key you want to get rid of (or move to a different "modifier group" and make a note of the name of the "deadkey state" (by opening the "Info" window and click on the middle tab-that information will be show there when you hover over the key). You proabably won't even need to modify the keyboard layout to prevent the dead action, although if you do need to do that in Ukelele. I use this tool extensively, it's very powerful and reliable and not to complicated. You'll still have to consult the support files on their website but it's a lot quicker if you have something to start with, or if you can just "Frankenstein" something together. Copy the closest premade config and then paste or edit it to your needs. A text editor like Sublime or TextWrangler that has syntax support for developers including XML will be helpful in editing the Private.xml while preventing syntax errors.īasically it's a copy & paste operation. Open those XML files, and then in Karabiner preferences on the Misc & Uninstall tab, there is a button to open "Private XML" click that. Navigate down to Resources-Include-checkbox and find the file(s) which are named after the expandable section(s) in Karabiner preferences which contain the closest examples of what you hope to accomplish. Then or the Karabiner app and select Show Package Contents. If not, the easiest way to write your own customized actions for a key is to first look through the list of options and find the setting that most closely does what you want also make note of any settings that perform the actions you want but for a different key. You didn't give too many specifics, so I can't say for sure if what you want to do has a built in settings but I would guess that there probably is a setting to do what you want. You can easily set up keys to do one thing when pressed by themselves, a different thing if pressed twice, and you can have a key send one or more modifier keys if held and pressed with other keys- it even consolidates modifier keys between separate devices! Individual actions can be customized for context- like which application is active or the name of the active window, or if an app is running. There are also instructions to create your own personalized actions for keys that let you do just about anything.

It has MANY settings organized by key, or groups of keys. Karabiner (Karabiner Elements if you're running High Sierra and KeyRemap4MapBook if you're running Mountain Lion or earlier-the website explains which versions run with which OS version) is DEFINITELY your best bet, and it's a free tool!
