Karabiner (formerly KeyRemap4MacBook) is a macOS keyboard customization utility for remapping keys, adjusting key repeat, and enabling modes like Emacs/Vi/Mouse Keys. It is obsolete on macOS Sierra (10.12) and later, where Karabiner-Elements is the maintained successor.
Use cases

- change right option key to enter on mac
