Escape key in game #60

Hey, I just have a quick question on the escape key for energybar. First off excellent work! I love this so much, but when I'm playing a game, in this case terraria yesterday, the escape key on the energybar doesn't register ingame. So I had to quit to use the system esc key. Is this a known issue? If not I hope it can somehow be fixed :D Thanks

I am not sure about the Terraria game, but problems like this are usually solved by ensuring that EnergyBar has the right permissions enabled at System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy.

@billziss-gh hey, thanks for making this app. I have a problem kind of related to this ticket, the escape key doesn't work at all for me even though I have this activated

I'm on macOS 10.15.4 with Swedish keyboard.

Cheers

Just a tip. ESC in touch bar always had issues with 3rd party apps. I've been using the Caps lock as my escape key for the past 10 years so I don't face this issue. It's easy to set on mac at a system level. It's also easier to reach for your fingers to reach. Really suggest using that solution. Getting apps such as Energybar to handle ESC properly will never happen IMHO.
