Cannot enter text into Terminal

Tried macro “test” on my MacBookPro macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G5027) and it worked properly.

Tried macro “test” on my MacPro macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G5027), from another fresh admin account and it did not work.

Tried logging in with shift key held down, “test” did not work.

Further:

Engine log shows:

2020-05-16 12:02:30 Execute macro “test” from trigger The exact case string “=x=” is typed (then deleted)

Don’t see anything other than my ‘=x=‘ typed in the TextEdit window and ‘=x=' stays there.

Since you're running Mojave, it might be worth going through the accessibility/permissions dance again on the Mac Pro.

Good idea.
I just noticed that the Named Clipboard Switcher Cut, Copy, paste functions no longer work either.

What are all the permissions I should check? I must have missed something.

Thx,

Ok, that solved my problem, working now! Yay!
I went into System Preferences/Security & Privacy/Privacy/Accessibility and toggled everything off, quit System Preferences, then toggled everything on again and KM is back in operation properly.

I see in Troubleshooting, a bug in Mojave is mentioned. Should have looked there first.
