It's surely possible to add, but the feature does not exist today. |

@jtroo can I make this happen by writing a tcp client if the key press msg include info about the device id I can just force kanata to switch to no-op layer before handling it, no? Or can I do a similar thing here https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/blob/main/src/kanata/macos.rs you think? |

The change would almost certainly be in this crate and the Kanata code interfacing with said crate: https://github.com/Psych3r/driverkit |

The first proposed solution doesn't sound like a good idea at all (need to implement sending tcp event per key + you wouldn't be able to react to a first key press before being able to reach to event) |

Is this feature implemented as an on/off switch in Karabiner? |

Kind of, each external keyboard has a setting called "Disable built in keyboard when connected" setting on ui. |

So karabiner had a feature to disable the builtin keyboard when desired keyboards connects, but this feature doesn't work together with kanata. Is there a way to make kanata use this feature of karabiners kext or maybe native kanata way to do this?
