Description

When I set up the remapping for the first time, it worked flawlessly. After going to standby, it still worked but all the F keys were shown on the touchbar when the remapped FN key was pressed.

Edit: After restarting Karabiner, it works again. But breaks as soon as it goes to standy.

How to solve this?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the mechanism responsible for restoring keyboard remapping after system wake from standby. Focus on the event handler that manages the FN key remapping and the touch bar display. Compare behavior before and after standby to identify where the state is lost.
