How to include terminal and VIM applications in Karabiner version 10.22.0 change key

Some of the change key options are excluding terminal and VIM. What if you like the terminal and VIM applications be included in the change key options where they are excluded? In Karabiner version 10.22.0 there is private.xml for your custom configurations. This is locate at:

  
~/Library/Application Support/Karabiner/private.xml
  

To include terminal and VIM applications in Karabiner change key, edit the private.xml and have the following codes as its content:

  
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <replacementdef>
    <replacementname>PC_STYLE_BINDINGS_IGNORE_APPS</replacementname>
    <replacementvalue>
      CITRIX_XEN_APP_VIEWER,
      EMACS,
      REMOTEDESKTOPCONNECTION,
      TEAMVIEWER,
      VIRTUALMACHINE,
      VNC,
      Wine,
      X11,
    </replacementvalue>
  </replacementdef>

  <replacementdef>
    <replacementname>PC_STYLE_BINDINGS_IGNORE_APPS_DESCRIPTION</replacementname>
    <replacementvalue>
      (Except in Virtual Machine, RDC, VNC, TeamViewer, EMACS, X11, Citrix Viewer, Wine)
    </replacementvalue>
  </replacementdef>
</root>
  

Open the Karabiner preferences and click the "Reload XML" button to make your Karabiner aware of the changes you made in private.xml.
