Possibly a duplicate of #109 since I'm also running Catalina, v10.15.4 (19E287)

keycastr

I've configured it to show all characters:

FWIW I also tried toggling light and dark modes to see if that was somehow interfering. (No difference.)

I had the same problem before, but fixed after restarted, works fine now.

@bvaughn @keeferrourke pinging here, does this problem persist or mysteriously go away after a while? I've seen lots of complaints of the new Security & Privacy - Input Monitoring mechanism being "buggy" and no smoking gun as to whether there's a bug in the app code -- we either get events from the OS or we don't 🤷‍♂️

@akitchen Interestingly enough, I just tried it again– and it's working as I would expect.

Closing this issue as I believe it's a transient problem with macOS, not something that can be fixed or possibly even detected on the keycastr side. I've tried adding code locally to detect when we stop receiving events, but this issue hasn't reproduced for me in a long time leading me to believe it's been addressed in a patch of macOS.
