with latest Karabiner-Elements 11.0.0, just need to run the app to enable media keys
We've updated the article with this info, thanks Felix!
In the latest version of Karabiner-Elements (11.5.0), the caps-lock indicator becomes unresponsive after starting the program.
Karabiner Elements has a setting allowing it to control LED indicators. Look for an option regarding LED manipulation under the Device tab and uncheck it.
That worked! Thanks!
There is an additional step required if using 'Karabiner-Elements'
You will need to set up a mapping from key 'application' to key 'fn' for the default keyboard mac mode (only switch 1 enabled)
