Hi Peter,

I’m so glad i found this thread here. I was having exactly the issue described here.

Just in case the steps from above or from here dont fix the issue, like it was in my case, this were the steps which did it:

  1. Open the System Preferences ➤ Security & Privacy preferences.
  2. Switch to the Accessibility settings.
  3. In the Finder, control click on Keyboard Maestro.app, and choose Show Package Contents.
  4. Drill down into Contents / Resources and find the Keyboard Maestro Engine.app
  5. Switch back to System Preferences.
  6. Click the Lock icon in the bottom left and enter your admin password.
  7. Drag the Keyboard Maestro Engine.app into the list (the KM engine won’t appear yet - dont worry).
  8. Copy the Keyboard Maestro Engine.app to /Applications (now the KM engine appears in the list).
  9. Trash the Keyboard Maestro Engine.app from /Applications (the KM engine is still in the list - yay - but the strings are still not triggered).
  10. Empty the trash.
  11. Restart KM.

Then it worked.
