This example demonstrates a keyboard remapping configuration for Karabiner-Elements, showing how left and right Shift keys can be repurposed to type parentheses when tapped alone. The JSON rules assign a tap on left Shift to produce an opening parenthesis (`9` with left Shift) and a tap on right Shift to produce a closing parenthesis (`0` with left Shift), while preserving the original Shift behavior when held with other keys. It uses Karabiner-Elements' `manipulators` API with `to_if_alone` conditions to distinguish taps from holds, and includes optional modifier handling to work alongside existing shortcuts.
