Guide on how to remap Keyboard keys on macOS

Guide on how to remap Keyboard keys on macOS

Update 17.10.2024: macOS 15 no longer requires root privileges for hidutil, you need to add hidutil and Terminal to 'Input Monitoring' in Settings/Privacy & Security tab.

Update 13.04.2024: On macOS 14.2 hidutil requires root privileges.

If you have a mac with an INT (ISO) keyboard you might want to change the ± key to ~. During my research I found that the information on this topic is not at all centralized. I prefer this option because it does not involve installing new software.

With macOS 10.12 Sierra Apple introduced hidutil as a tool to remap keyboard keys. See TN2450.
