Hotkey Can Not Be Set

Questions & Suggestions

Generally, Input Monitoring should not be required for Keyboard Maestro - it is implicit in Accessibility.

My guess is that for those folks that solve the issue with Input Monitoring are just working around failures in the accessibility permissions.

There is no down side in enabling Input Monitoring, so that is fine, but there may be other aspects of accessibility permissions that are still failing.

For 11.4, a general solution that seems to work is:

  • Quit Keyboard Maestro and Keyboard Maestro Engine.
  • Trash the Keyboard Maestro.app.
  • Empty the trash.
  • Download a fresh copy from our web site.
  • Use the Finder to move the downloaded Keyboard Maestro.app to the Applications folder (it is important to use the Finder to do this).
  • Launch Keyboard Maestro.
  • Enable accessibility permissions.
