1 year ago Yeah, I think it is related. Basically key_sequence is a sequence of key_clicks, right?
But in my case the app doesn't crush, just nothing happens. I thought this might be due to some permissions on macOS, etc

1 year ago key_sequence is not just a sequence of key_click. key_sequence enters the whole text at the same time. It should probably be renamed to text_input or something like that. Could you please try key_click and see if it panics?

8 months ago I am not familiar with Tauri, but I had to grant permissions in a popup. Did you grant the application the Accessibility permissions? https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/allow-accessibility-apps-to-access-your-mac-mh43185/mac

5 months ago i have the same issue, enigo does not fire anything MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2 with M3 Enigo 0.1.3 & 2.0rc2 tested
#[tauri::command]
async fn switch_space(left: bool) {
let mut enigo= Enigo::new(&Settings::default()).unwrap();
enigo.key(Key::Control, Direction::Press);
if left {
enigo.key(Key::LeftArrow, Direction::Click);
} else {
enigo.key(Key::RightArrow, Direction::Click);
}
enigo.key(Key::Control, Direction::Release);
println!("switch space left = {left}") // this is printed but key did not fire at all
}

3 months ago I'm writing my first rust script now, so I have no idea what I'm doing, but maybe the problem is a level lower. My script is not using Tauri, but it's using tao, which is what Tauri runs on top of from what I've read.
use global_hotkey::{ hotkey::{HotKey, Code}, GlobalHotKeyEvent, GlobalHotKeyManager, HotKeyState };
use tao::event_loop::{ ControlFlow, EventLoopBuilder };
use enigo::{ Enigo, Keyboard, Settings };
fn main() {
let event_loop = EventLoopBuilder::new().build();
let mut enigo = Enigo::new(&Settings::default()).unwrap();
let hotkey_manager = GlobalHotKeyManager::new().unwrap();
enigo.text("Launched!").unwrap(); // 👈 this is working as expected
let hotkey = HotKey::new(None, Code::F12);
hotkey_manager.register(hotkey).unwrap();
let global_hotkey_channel = GlobalHotKeyEvent::receiver();
event_loop.run(move |_event, _, control_flow| {
*control_flow = ControlFlow::Wait;
if let Ok(event) = global_hotkey_channel.try_recv() {
if hotkey.id() == event.id && event.state == HotKeyState::Pressed {
println!("F12 Pressed!");
enigo.text("input").unwrap(); // 👈 this doesn't do anything
}
}
})
}In this script enigo.text works outside tao's event_loop, but not inside. This could make hunting for the problem a bit easier.

1 week ago I also facing the same issue with tauri app. enigo works great outside of tauri, also it works with tauri in dev mode. but once I install the app and launch through applications then enigo keys doesn't work. Production log:
Found the cause, it's permission error
For manage that permission you need to open settings -> accessibility
Then click the + button to add your app from application and allow it to control the computer If you have already the app it's possibly the dev mode app, remove it and add again the installed one. Once you remove it and reopen the app it should open the following prompt to ask for the permission:
When the permission allowed enigo should work. By the way, it will be nice if enigo can detect that the app doesn't have that required permission and show error

Checking it is simple as
Describe your Question Can't get enigo working in Tauri app on macOS.
Describe your Goal I want to have enigo typing (
key_sequencefunction) in Tauri app, but it doesn't work at all. I want it to type in the app itself and other apps too. This functionality works great on Windows.Environment (please complete the following information):
Note I use set_activation_policy(tauri::ActivationPolicy::Accessory) in Tauri, so the app behaves like a spotlight window. Maybe it prevents some functionality
