Karabiner elements not working

[daknecht1]

I reinstalled Karabiner Elements on my Macbook Air (Sonoma 14.0) and it started working, but now it is not working any longer. I also have a Logitech wireless solar keyboard. When Karabiner has worked, both work. Now, neither does. The only key I have assigned is right option to forward delete and that is shown in the setup, but nothing happens when I hit that key. Below is what the viewer shows, but I don't know if that is correct or not. Thanks- Dave

Karabiner Elements [ { "type": "down", "name": {"key_code":"right_option"}, "usagePage": "7 (0x0007)", "usage": "230 (0x00e6)", "misc": "flags right_option" }, { "type": "up", "name": {"key_code":"right_option"}, "usagePage": "7 (0x0007)", "usage": "230 (0x00e6)", "misc": "" } ]

I just uninstalled Karabiner and reinstalled it (same version) and it works now, but I am sure it is going to stop again like it did before. I will update when it happens.

Karabiner Elements no longer works on my wireless Logitech keyboard or Macbook Air internal keyboard. I suspect that every time the wireless is connected, Karabiner quits working.

This worked for me:

1. Open Karabiner-Elements from Launchpad to ensure that Allow button is shown on System Settings.
2. Open System Settings and confirm the Allow button is shown.
3. Restart when prompted
4. Open Karabiner-Elements from Launchpad to ensure that Allow button is shown on System Settings.
5. Allow Karabiner-Elements in the next prompt
6. Reinstall driver when prompted

I did not enable safe mode, but the docs advise doing so:

My system is different than you describe (10.14). In Privacy and Security/Input Monitoring, Karabiner grabber, observer and event viewer are all allowed. Doing the steps above I never got a "reinstall driver" and there was no allow button (it was already allowed). I uninstalled Karabiner and reinstalled, said yes to the allow access prompt and now it is working on both keyboards. But this is the 4th time I have reinstalled and I know it will stop working at some point. I will try to identify when it quits. After it quits, the Input MOnitoring for all three were still active and event viewer was seeing my key presses, just not responding correctly.

Karabiner elements stopped working again within the last week. I uninstalled, reinstalled and now works fine. I tried restarting and it still works so that is not the cause of it failing.

I am trying a fresh install of Karabiner on macOS Sonoma 14.7 and I have not been able to get it to work at all, I believe because the System Extension prompt never appears. I even attempted booting in safemode and launching the app from Launchpad. Nothing

However, I see this in EventViewer's extension tab, which I assume means it's enabled?

1 extension(s)

And 2 minutes later I scroll up and see the full disk access thing (that wasn't apparently mentioned in the install guide?

Turned those on:

Now it works again!
