Toggle capturing just disappeared and recording is bound to the key
Athat makes the app not usable.Version: v0.9.5
Where is the config file located?
@akitchen commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2017):
Thanks for reporting. Looks like there's a layout quirk in the latest macOS vs. that window's resizing behavior - I only see this after switching tabs, and I had to restart the app to get that field back.
The settings are stored in NSUserDefaults, so you're probably best off just restarting to get the text field back until this is fixed.
@szabolcsdombi commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2017):
Somehow the preferences remain.
@akitchen commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2017):
It’s not clear from your screen recording - are you not able to change the ‘Toggle Capturing’ shortcut? I was able to change it on my machine without any issue.
@szabolcsdombi commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2017):
No, I am not.
It is
Awhatever I do.Not sure how could I help resolving this :(
Does this happen to anyone else?
@akitchen commented on GitHub (Dec 8, 2017):
I'm not sure how you got into this situation. Seems like there might be a bug in ShortcutRecorder (which provides the functionality here).
We'll look into updating it for the next release; meanwhile you may be able to use the
defaultscommand in the terminal to fix the problem. For example, try running this in the terminal:defaults read net.stephendeken.KeyCastrand
man defaultsfor more info@szabolcsdombi commented on GitHub (Dec 8, 2017):
thank you!
@jachacha commented on GitHub (Feb 19, 2019):
Hi there,
I'v run into the same issue. Could you please describe more in dept how to use the defaults command in the terminal to fix the problem?
I am using the latest version: v0.9.6
Thank you.
@martin-martin commented on GitHub (Mar 2, 2019):
The default key seems to set itself to this when it gets stuck:
capturingHotKey = <00000000 00000000>;See my full output from running
defaults read net.stephendeken.KeyCastr:Maybe this can be helpful.
For me, restarting the app helped to be able to make it possible to change the toggle command again.
@martin-martin commented on GitHub (Mar 2, 2019):
From
man defaults:That means that typing:
should change the shortcut to
cmd + shift + c! Hope this helps @jachacha ! :)@jachacha commented on GitHub (Mar 6, 2019):
Hi Martin,
thanks a lot, this really helped, now I have the shortcut at least set to something that wouldn't turn the recording on and off all the time. Is there a way how to disable the hotkey at all?
Cheers,
Jarka

This issue still persists on v0.9.8 + Catalina 10.15
The only way to get that field back is to quit the app and relaunch it
@jqhan commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2019):
If you can't get the app to work on Mojave 10.14.6, you might want to try to use an old release version, v0.9.6 etc, if you want the app to be usable. Note that you might have to deal with the Accessibility API problem for this approach, which is discussed in this issue
@akitchen commented on GitHub (Nov 30, 2019):
The latest build works fine on Mojave, but Mojave seems a little quirky when it comes to accessibility API permissions. As much as I hate to say it, rebooting seemed to help.
@akitchen commented on GitHub (Nov 30, 2019):
As to this issue, it's somewhere between our very old build of ShortcutRecorder and KeyCastr's antique
MainMenu.nib. Ultimately we need to update ShortcutRecorder and possibly rebuild the nib if we want to be able to edit it in a modern Xcode.@jsphkm commented on GitHub (Apr 11, 2020):
I'm using KeyCastr 0.9.8 on macOS Catalina 10.15.4, and can confirm that this issue persists. How do you remove the "A" shortcut from toggling?
@marq5 commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2020):
Hi,
The terminal script changed the shortcut on my German localized user profile but didn't affect my English localized user profile. For my English user (on the same MBP Catalina) the shortcut is still "A" and can't be changed. Is that kind of strange or what?
@chrisman commented on GitHub (Jul 17, 2020):
Currently working through this issue with v0.9.8 obtained with
brew cask install keycastron Catalina 10.15.4.Looks as though the defaults are now at io.github.keycastr.
That is, you can see the defaults with
defaults read io.github.keycastrCan anybody point me toward any documentation on the
capturingHotKeyformat? It looks to no longer be in the format of<00001200 08000000>. I looked throughman defaultsand did a quick ddg but didn't see anything helpful.@akitchen commented on GitHub (Jan 21, 2021):
This is fixed on the main branch as a part of the MainMenu.nib modernizations in v0.9.10, coming soon™
@nicanordlc commented on GitHub (Jul 9, 2021):
I want to change the a key to other like option/alt so when I'm writing it does not activate and deactivate :/
This issue is still happening:
@Arvidchen commented on GitHub (Dec 24, 2021):
Hello,
the issue still persists on Big Sur 11.6
I am running on a german keyboard. But i can´t change the CaptureKey. It isn´t displayed at all.
Besides the tool works great! Many thanks!
my defaults:
{
"NSWindow Frame KCBezelWindow default.bezelWindow" = "10 10 3420 145 0 0 3440 1415 ";
"NSWindow Frame svelte visualizerFrame" = "4 5 200 100 0 0 3440 1415 ";
SUEnableAutomaticChecks = 1;
SUHasLaunchedBefore = 1;
SULastCheckTime = "2021-12-24 15:04:30 +0000";
SUSendProfileInfo = 0;
capturingHotKey = {length = 8, bytes = 0x0000020029000000};
"default.commandKeysOnly" = 0;
"default.fontSize" = "49.50144230769231";
displayIcon = 1;
selectedVisualizer = Default;
}
EDIT:
Due to some random approaching my fingers on my keyboard it worked...
But thats not the "right" way i assume..
Merry Christmas
Arvid

I am using version 0.9.16 on Sonoma 14.1 and I just came across the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to change the stop/start value to some random collection of characters (so it never switches off)https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/assets/30303430/5ac4e0fa-9640-4db2-9abe-78a875ff7fab
