Karabiner-Elements: macos Catilina CAPS LOCK fatal error
Happening very frequently, for some reason when I press the MacOs control key and some other key in conjunction, the laptop keyboard (which should be disabled) triggers the caps lock key
The effect is total loss of control of the keyboard which start typing a character in infinite loop
I have to quit all application sand restart the computer, I can not save my code written in vim
Unluckily this is very busy time for me and I am not able to review my logs
this are my configurations
Thanks a lot for the help
This is my log

I’ll add, similarly, using same keyboard setup, when I actually hit capslock, the keyboard freezes completely, even blocking my MBPro keyboard somehow. My quick fix is to unplug the gaming keyboard and plug it back in. But then I lose my KE modifications so a restart is needed.
For anyone else seeing this - I added a simple modification to rebind caps lock to VK_NONE, thus disabling it. This at least stops me accidentally breaking my keyboard (at the cost of not being able to yell on the internet).
