Title: macOS Catalina key repeat issues [FIXED]
Post by: zpaolo11x on July 02, 2020, 12:39:46 AM

I know, it was a bad idea to update from Mojave to Catalina, but I needed to, and I was really surprised to see that Attract Mode seemed to work perfectly from the start! But... after further checking here it comes the hideous issue: key repeat is basically non-existent, and when I look at the attract log I see

"We got a keyboard without any keys (1)"

on the console output. Anyone with catalina can give me an hand? Also, when I add Attract Mode app to the accessibility preferences so it can access full disk etc, it's shown as AttradeMode. Weird :O

Fixed!

I did like this and it got fixed, maybe there are other ways to fix it but this worked:

- Run XQuartz
- From the xquartz terminal go to the folder of attract mode (e.g. /Applications/AttractMode/Content/MacOS)
- Run ./attract
- As soon as you press a key you'll be asked to add "bash" to the accessibility preferences, input monitor section
- Exit Xquartz and you should be ok

[EDIT]

If you want to run ./attract from the terminal, you'll have to add terminal.app to the list of applications that have "monitor input" privileges too.
