sysdiagnose is triggered frequently

[amjltc295]

For some reason MacOS sysdiagnose is triggered frequently after installing Karabiner with Capslock.
Similar problem is also reported here pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements#1107 but I don't know how to integrate with this module. It is also a bit hard to reproduce as there's no instant feedback. Sysdiagnose usually runs for a while before it generates reports under /private/var/tmp. Wonder if anyone has the same problem and how to fix it.

May it help to understand this key shot problem.

If you want to DIY the CapsLock config, follow my simple steps on MacOS:

• download capslock.json in repository here (or git clone), edit it and move it like below

• vim ~/opt/config/Capslock/mac/capslock.json

• cp -R ~/opt/config/Capslock/mac/capslock.json ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications

• Karabine - complex-rules - removeALL && enableAll

Thanks for sharing! I do know that sysdiagnose could be triggered by shift+control+option+command+.. However, I still don't understand why/how it is triggered after I install this repo and how to fix it.

I did not change the rules related to .. I did customize it a bit but they are all about different mappings, like mapping "Capslock + f" to Enter, nothing more complicated

Thank you for your feedback.
The same problem has bothered me before, and now I know what it is.
I will see if there is a way to work around this.

Hi, is there any update on this?

Hi I have some update on this -- setting shift+control+option+command+. and shift+control+option+command+, to delete-words-after is fine. It would not trigger sysdiagnose. However, when pressing Capslock+<anykey> after . (I set Capslock + f to be enter, so this happens quite often when changing directory), sysdiagnose would be triggered. I haven't found a way to fix it.

Some other tips:

• When triggering sysdiagnose, the screen would blink white once
• When already triggered, sysdiagnose would not be triggered again
• When triggered, one can open Activity Monitor and search for sysdiagnose to force-quit it, and it can be triggered again.
