recently I'v updated to macOS sierra and found that Karabiner is not supported. Developers have released Karabiner-Elements but it seem in a "pre-user friendly" state. I cant understand how to map home and end keys in a pc style, as in the original Karabiner. A user guide will be appreciated.

I just suffered through trying to get this to work as well. What I ended up doing was following these instructions, with a few tweaks.

Here are the steps:

  1. Open TextEdit and create a new file.

  2. Paste the following:

     {
 "\UF729"  = "moveToBeginningOfLine:";
 "\UF72B"  = "moveToEndOfLine:";                        
 "$\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:";
 "$\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:";
 }

  3. Save to {your user folder}/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict (UTF-8 encoding)

  4. Restart your computer.

I also found this helpful utility that seems to be a handy editor for modifying your .dict file. It would seem that making new key mappings should be easier with this tool.
