Actions
What a binding can do, as grouped in the action picker.
An action is what a binding does at one of its moments. A moment can run several actions in order.
The action picker
Search covers every action. Up to three suggested actions sit as chips under the search; ⌘1–⌘3 pick them. The rail on the left jumps between groups.
| Group | Actions |
|---|---|
| Layers & modes | Activate layer, Exit mode, Switch mode |
| Input | Shortcut, Type text, Media key, Mouse click, Double click, Mouse move, Mouse keys, Sticky modifier, Original key |
| Apps & web | Open app, Open URL, Menu command, App command |
| Commands | Run command, Input source, Sleep |
| Vimputer | Toggle layer HUD, Suspend remapping, Switch profile, Open layer, Quick add binding, and more |
| Plugins | One section per plugin |
| Advanced | Set variable, Variable expression |
When the browser extension or a paired app is connected, its commands get their own entries in the rail.
Shortcut has Key options…: Lazy modifier (a modifier that only applies once another key goes down), Key repeat, Stop tap/hold, and Press length.
Labels and icons
Each binding can carry its own label and icon. The editor, the HUD, and the keyboard view show them instead of the action’s own description.
Not in the picker
Imported configs can hold actions the picker doesn’t offer: notifications, sounds, and raw Karabiner events. They keep their settings and are written back unchanged.
