Accessibility API Disabled

[orangejuice5519]

What happened?

On Better Globe Key installation, when running betterglobekey,

hook_run [1284]: Accessibility API is disabled!
Failed to enable access for assistive devices. (0X40)

is returned and Better Globe Key isn't found in accessibility settings.

What else do we need to know?

Hey, @orangejuice5519! 👋

Thank you for raising the issue. Could you please confirm if you have checked it under System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility, and not elsewhere?

The tool is supposed to request permissions when it has been installed and started first. Please try to run brew services restart betterglobekey in your terminal and see if this would make it to request the permissions.

If it didn't help, and If you still can't find it there, you can manually add it to the list by pressing the + button and by specifying the binary file of the tool in the pop-up window. To find the path, run which betterglobekey in your terminal, but probably it sits at its default path at /opt/homebrew/bin/betterglobekey.

Please let me know if this helped you, thank you!
