Broken hidutil util on MacOS 15

On MacOS 14 I used this command to remap keyboard keys and swap '`' and '§', but it does not work on MacOS 15. Help me please how to do this now.

sudo hidutil property --set '{"UserKeyMapping":[{"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc":0x700000064,"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst":0x700000035}]}'

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.0

The hdiutil command no longer recognizes the 'property' verb as a recognized command. This means that Apple has depreciated the abililty to map keys using hdiutil. I checked in Sonoma and Ventura neither support the verb "property". So not exactly sure when it was depreciated but it was last documented on macOS Sierra 10.12 which was nine years ago.


You may wish to try Karbinger Elements to see if you can make the same changes using the 3rd party utility since Apple dropped support for hdutil's ability to modify keybindings.
