Escape button stops working when connection to keyboard is lost and back. #1

Anything I can do about it? somehow restart the service when keyboard is connected?

dnicolson commented 4 years ago

Can you describe how the connection is lost? As long as there is a Bluetooth connection HDI events should work, do other keys on the keyboard work? What application are you using the escape key in?

desmax commented 4 years ago

@dnicolson when keyboard is inactive for around 10 mins it turns off bluetooth for energy saving reasons(mac shows "connection lost" on a screen), then I press any key and keyboard starts to work again, but escape button does not. I run brew services start bluetoothkeyboardenhancer and its back again.

What application are you using the escape key in?

for example I open spolight search and press Esc

@dnicolson

Do you see bke running in Activity Monitor?

Do you see anything in Console when filtering for bke?

desmax commented 4 years ago

@dnicolson to be specific those events appear only when I turn my keyboard off

dnicolson commented 4 years ago

If bke is already running brew services start bluetoothkeyboardenhancer should not have any effect.

Are you running Catalina? Do you have the correct security settings in System Preferences?

desmax commented 4 years ago

@dnicolson sorry, I meant RESTART instead of start. so if I run restart everything starts to work

Are you running Catalina? Do you have the correct security settings in System Preferences?

yes, catalina. yes, I believe so

dnicolson commented 4 years ago

Is there anything that could seize control of the keyboard input, Karabiner perhaps?

desmax commented 4 years ago

@dnicolson thats it! I installed Karabiner before I found this app and forgot to delete it. Thank you for your time and for this amazing tool :)
