1) Start Karibiner and take a screen shot of your current settings. Check off 'Show enabled only'
2) Uninstall seil and karabiner.
I found that macos would not shut down cleanly after this step. Like it was failing on closing a process and hanged. Seems to have went away after installing karabiner-elements.
3) Install karabiner-elements and create the file ~/.karabiner.d/configuration/karabiner.json
https://pqrs.org/latest/karabiner-elements-latest.dmg (mentioned in the above github README.md)
4) To get back my settings I added the following remaps.
{
"profiles": [
{
"name": "Default profile",
"selected": true,
"simple_modifications": {
"caps_lock": "escape",
"left_command": "left_option",
"left_option": "fn",
"fn": "left_command"
}
}
]
}
5) To get the names of keys to add to the above, you can't really use the karabiner event viewer app. I was seeing Command_L and Fn. The following file has a list of all the acceptable names. control-f for left_command and you can see other ones that might suit your needs.

Hope this helps.

This was a huge help, thank you very much. Any idea the syntax to excluded Apple Device Keyboards? I didn't see it in their github repo examples.
Here's a screenshot of my prior config. https://cl.ly/2u1R0v280H2a
Have a nice day!
You'll probably have to wait until they add the same configuration that was in karabiner or dig in the code. I'm missing some of the advance features like pass-through command-tab (allows you to do the same thing as alt-tab in windows after I remapped the keys) and couldn't find in the code how they're doing it now.
Thanks this was a big help to get me started.
I wish I knew how to add key maps for multiple keys, I want "end" to remap to "left_control+right_arrow" but it doesn't recognize that key_code in the logs.
