Bug: Kanata crashes and is unable to start on macOS if sidecar is on

PresidentialAnt commented 1 week ago

Requirements

[X] I've searched platform-specific issues, issues and discussions to see if this has been reported before.

Describe the bug

Turning on Sidecar (connecting wirelessly to an iPad as an external display) while Kanata is running will cause Kanata to crash with the error zsh: trace trap sudo ./myPrograms/kanata_macos_cmd_allowed_arm64 -c.

note: I start kanata by runningsudo ./myPrograms/kanata_macos_cmd_allowed_arm64 -c ~/.config/kanata/kanata.kbd

Attempting to restart Kanata while connected to Sidecar fails with the same error.

Kanata is able to restart after disconnecting from Sidecar.

Relevant kanata config

  danger-enable-cmd yes

Same here, I'm on macOS 14.6.1 with kanata 1.7.0

Same here. I'm on macOS 15.1/15.2 with kanata 1.7.0

This bug makes kanata completely unusable with the Vision Pro
