Keymando occasionally stops working until reboot

[Sean Mackesey]

Sometimes when making heavy use of Keymando by tweaking the keymandorc and reloading many times, at some point Keymando will stop working.  Restarting Keymando and toggling enable/disbale have no effect.  The only way I can find to make it work is to reboot the system.

Hey Sean,

As one of the devs and an extremely heavy user of the tool also, I definitely have observed the issue you are talking about (though never needed to reboot the system). I have a quick alias setup to kill the keymando process and restart it (something I have to do a couple of times a day).

We are definitely going to be looking into addressing this issue. In all honesty (and not to come off as being lazy), it has not been a showstopper for me as the alias eliminates the issue (most of my day is spent in a terminal so I have not had too much issue). Here is the alias:

alias rk2='killall Keymando;open /Applications/Keymando.app'

I have never need to reboot the system in order to have things reset. Killing the process and restarting works for me. And again, I probably have to do it a couple of times a day (even with all the UI manipulation stuff I am doing in the scripts etc).

Thanks for letting us know, and we will look deeper into the issue as it is something we have been meaning to deal with for a while!! I know the alias is a band aid fix, but hopefully it will alleviate your restart issues in the meantime!

God Bless You,

JP

Thanks JP,

I'll try this out and see if it works.  I guess before I was assuming the process was getting killed when I would quit and restart Keymando, but perhaps that wasn't happening.

JP,

Just wanted to give you a report on the alias.  It's been working for me most of the time, but just now I had to restart my computer in order to get Keymando to work again. This was after a period of a lot of experimentation and reloading of the config.  Also, I observe that the config gradually becomes slower to reload with each repetition.  I used to see a similar phenomenon in Vim when resourcing the vimrc.  There, the issue was that certain configuration items (autocmds and functions, if you're familiar with vim) were being ADDED each time I resourced rather than overwriting their previous definitions.  I wonder if there's something similar going on with Keymando mappings?

Hey Sean,

I have never used the reload feature, that might explain our variance!

I always turf and restart the process if I make a config change. This is really more out of habit now than anything!
