## What it is
GokuRakuJoudo is a CLI tool that generates Karabiner-Elements JSON configuration from concise edn files on macOS. It lets users manage complex keyboard remapping rules in a compact, readable format instead of thousands of lines of JSON.

## Use cases
- manage karabiner config with edn instead of
- remap caps lock to escape on mac
- create complex karabiner keymap rules quickly
- watch karabiner.edn and auto-regenerate karabiner.
- run karabiner config generation as a background service

## When to choose
- you use Karabiner-Elements on macOS and your karabiner. has grown unwieldy
- you want a concise, declarative format for keyboard remapping rules
- you want fast iteration on keymaps with a watch mode

## When to avoid
- you don't use Karabiner-Elements or macOS
- you prefer editing karabiner. directly or use the Karabiner GUI only
- you need keyboard remapping on Linux or Windows
