# lushlayers
`lushlayers` is a configuration generator for [Karabiner-Elements].
It generates JSON files for `~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/`.
## Why?
Karabiner-Elements is configured through JSON files that are really verbose,
making them hard to read and edit. To simplify writing configurations, tools
exist that generate the JSON from a more user-friendly format. `lushlayers` is
such a tool. It was inspired by [Goku] and [KMonad], and combines some of their
ideas.
I really like KMonad's configuration syntax. Unfortunately I can't get KMonad
installed on macOS Ventura. To get over the heartbreak I rolled my own tool with
a similar configuration syntax. I haven't documented the config yet, but you'll
probably get the gist from [KMonad's tutorial] and my [examples](examples/).
### Disclaimer
This tool doesn't have nearly as many features as KMonad or Goku. I've only
implemented what I needed for [my own config](examples/) so far. Ideas and
feature requests are welcome.
