Mouse bindings don't work on macOS

[nikvdp]

Hi, and thanks for this wonderful program! I've tried a lot of keymapping apps and this one is a dream come true, finally a simple and clear config language, and cross platform to boot!

I've ported my config over from the Karabiner Elements / GokuRakuJoudo and everything is working great, however for some reason on macOS mouse related bindings don't seem to have any effect.

I have the following binding in my keymapper.conf:

CapsLock{E} >> ButtonMiddle

but nothing happens when I hit CapsLock+e on mac. I'm using the same config file on a Windows machine and the binding does work as expected there, so it seems to be a mac specific issue. I've also tried WheelDown >> WheelUp as a test and that doesn't have any effect on my mac either.

In case it's helpful, I'm running keymapperd with the -v flag and I see this output at startup:

$ sudo keymapperd -v

My USB mouse is the Razer DeathAdder Essential, so it seems to be getting detected. Any suggestions on how to fix it or other troubleshooting steps I could try?

Let me know if I can provide any other info or test anything to help!

Thanks!
Sorry, I should have documented it somewhere, only keyboards are supported on MacOS at the moment.
I am still struggling with the mouse support, because of the API of Karabiner-Element's virtual device driver, the MacOS version depends on.

Ah gotcha, thanks for the quick response!

I reopened it, since it is still an issue.
