Im having the issue on Karabiner Elements where key-bindings using the ctrl key don't work, like reported by other users https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/issues/4354. I'm trying to use this complex workflow: CTRL + h j k l for arrow key movement but its not working for me, instead <span>ctrl + h</span> deletes the character to the left of the cursor as specified in the keyboard shortcuts documentation (and idk how to disable that). My keyboard is a Logitech G710+ btw.
