how to reset the app? #19

For those who wanna reset the app, here's my sneaky unofficial solution for it. Beware as I am not responsible for the side-effects.

cd ~/Library
find . -name '*octomouse*' | xargs -d '\n' rm

Explanation: the first 'find' command finds (probably) all files related to octomouse under ~/Library directory, then the second 'xargs' command applies 'rm' to each file.

At first I was looking for some xml, csv, json kinda data files inside octomouse package to reset the keystroke counter, but then I soon figured that OctoMouse uses something called 'NSUserDefaults' to store the keystroke count. I have no idea how this works so I just decided to delete everything related to 'octomouse' under ~/Library directory. Seems working for me.

The question is self-answered, so the owner of the repository can close this issue if he finds this solution causes no risk to his app.

Got the same concern here, but it seems like the owner is no longer working on this.
