Some shortcuts not working in Sequoia (stable)

[nonokh]

As in the title, some shortcuts doesn't seem to work. And there is no indication if they are conflicting or not , it just doesn't work.

Eg : option+ o doesnt work, it does not show if its conflicting with anything or not too. Command+o works. Before sequoia, i was using option+o and i didnt change any keyboard shortcuts.

Looks like a change in macOS, doesn't seem like I can workaround it at this moment.

See related issue in the library I'm using sindresorhus/KeyboardShortcuts#176

From Apple employee:

This was an intentional change in macOS Sequoia to limit the ability of key-logging malware to observe keys in other applications. The issue of concern was that shift+option can be used to generate alternate characters in passwords, such as Ø (shift-option-O).
There is no workaround; macOS Sequoia now requires that a hotkey registration use at least one modifier that is not shift or option.

I think this issue has resulted in me not being able to access Trex, I think because I've hidden the menu item, and the shortcut was the only way left to trigger it. When I open Trex now, I see it in Activity Monitor, but nowhere else. Maybe it could detect if it is configured with a keyboard shortcut that is no longer valid, and show in the menu bar in this case? I'm guessing a little that this is what's going on, fwiw. Maybe it's not opening correctly for some other reason.

@dkordik go to /Users/<username>/Library/Containers/com.ameba.TRex/Data/Library/Preferences/ and drop com.ameba.TRex.plist and X93LWC49WV.TRex.preferences.plist. This will reset TRex settings and will show the menu bar icon on relaunch
