Describe the bug
I use BTT daily and its key sequences the most often. Yet a few days ago, they stopped working entirely. I cannot even get the recording ("Type Key Sequence") working except for the modifier keys!!
The Keyboard Shortcuts still work. For example I set up F12 to show/hide Clipboard History and it is working right now.
Global settings, I have tried switching these but behavior stays the same, the Key Sequence recorder is only seeing modifier keys.
Not checked "Always use old keyboard shortcut implementation"
Checked "Automatically switch to old keyboard implementation if secure input is enabled", "Don't process keyboard shortcuts sent by BTT itself"
Not checked "Use higher level modifier key recognition", "Add small delay"
BTT menubar is not alerting me about secure input being enabled at the moment. It does say so when there is.
I am trying the latest (alpha) version of BetterTouchTool 5.286 now, was using the lastest main release before when it first stopped working (I no longer remember which version that was). I have restarted my system a few times, both a reboot and a full power-off. I've tried it with and without external keyboard attached via USB, with and without Karabiner running.
I removed BTT from Accessibility while it was running, and my MacBook froze entirely at that moment, I had to hold the power down to shut off machine. it still didn't work after I restarted & added it back to the security settings, Accessibility enabled. Later after installing this alpha version 5.286 I quit BTT then removed it, re-added it to Accessibility without any problem/freezing, but it still doesn't work.
Affected input device: keyboard - internal and USB
