I was having the same problem with hotkey registration failures. In my case, I was able to isolate the problem to another application that was registering the same hotkey (Autokey in my case). Fortunately for me, Autokey didn't have any trouble registering its hotkey after Barrier, so I just modified my startup commands to delay Autokey a few seconds and allow Barrier to register first.

@curiousercreative Could you point to autokey website so that there's no ambiguity over which program you were using? I think we could learn from Autokey and if we setup hotkeys in the same way then this bug would be fixed.
