I've followed the various suggestions here: https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd/issues/312 but that hasn't helped.
launchctl print gui/502/com.koekeishiya.skhd
Shows that the environment is correctly set with the path for home-brew's bin folder. Nonetheless, I changed my rc file to include the path to Yabai - no change
Same problem for me. Moreover running skhd
manually from the command-line shows the following message:
skhd: could not lock pid-file! abort..
I thought it was a rights-issue, but running as root doesn't seem to be allowed:
skhd: running as root is not allowed! abort..
@koekeishiya any idea what else we could try?
The issue was probably caused by a lack of codesigning. I've added an ad-hoc codesigning step to the brew formula. Stop, and uninstall skhd, remove it from accessbility permisions in macOS settings, reboot. Update the skhd formula using brew update. Install again, start the service and accept accessibility permissions. Start the service again.
Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I still cannot get skhd
to work on this MacBook as a service. This is the procedure I followed:
skhd --stop-service
brew uninstall --force skhd
ls /opt/homebrew/bin/s* # check there's no skhd binary
rm /Users/james/Library/LaunchAgents/com.koekeishiya.skhd.plist
rm /Users/james/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/*skhd*.zip
Then I disabled the accessibility setting, deleted the accessibility setting and rebooted. After which I:
brew update
brew install skhd
skhd --start-service
I got the security dialog, navigated to the setting, enabled accessibility then
skhd --start-service
None of the shortcuts work still. I've repeated this process twice now. I have also restarted yabai
If I stop the service, and run it manually in the terminal, then it works just fine:
skhd --stop-service
ps -ef | grep skhd # check skhd isn't running
skhd -V
Throwing the command into the background also works: skhd -V >/dev/null 2>&1 &
. The verbose setting makes no difference, i.e. this also works skhd >/dev/null 2>&1 &
Sorry if I'm doing something obviously wrong, but I'd appreciate some more help.
Is this closed because you found a solution? For me it still doesn't work
Skhd installed from Homebrew, version v0.3.9, doesn't work when run as a launchd service. Skhd, however, does work when started from the terminal ether as
skhd
orskhd -V
I've amended the
plist
file to add the-V
switch, and get logging in the appropriate/tmp/
file, but all key combinations are ignored.I have tried uninstalling, removing the accessibility privileges, restarting my MacBook and re-installing, enabling the accessibility privileges, but nothing works when
skhd
is run as a service. As soon as I:everything works just fine.
