Swap Microsoft application key as the application switcher (Command+Tab)

August 2, 2015

Want to use the Microsoft application key as the application switcher (Command+Tab)? Here's the Karabiner config:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <item>
    <name>Use Application key as "Switch application" (Command+Tab)</name>
    <identifier>private.applicationKey2commandTab</identifier>
    <autogen>
      __KeyToKey__
      KeyCode::PC_APPLICATION,
      KeyCode::TAB, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L,
    </autogen>
  </item>
</root>

UPDATE (2017-11-22): Here's the config for Karabiner-Elements

{
   "description":"Use Application key as \"Switch application\" (Command+Tab)",
   "manipulators":[
      {
         "type":"basic",
         "from":{
            "key_code":"application"
         },
         "to":[
            {
               "key_code":"tab",
               "modifiers":[
                  "left_command"
               ]
            }
         ]
      }
   ]
}
