This String is Typed triggers are failing after migrating from Intel MacBook to Mac Studio

Questions & Suggestions
1

I have a number of macros triggered by The String is Typed.

After migrating from an Intel MacBook Pro to a Mac Studio, they are failing.

I've tried doing the permissions items in preferences, and toggling KM and Engine in Accessibility in macOS System Preferences.

Ideas?

Hi, @Jim. There's section in the wiki that might help: Typed String Triggers Not Working

Thanks, but that has not resolved it.

I found the setting—whew!

Thanks for sharing that. I don't have Keyboard Maestro in "Input Monitoring" and use typed string triggers frequently. I wonder what is unique about your macros that makes it need that. It makes me think it would be good to just add Keyboard Maestro to input Monitoring to save myself some grief.

You're welcome.

No idea. And I don't know why that setting was not migrated from my MacBook Pro to my Mac Studio.

Just SO happy that all of my macros are running again.
