Welcome to the keycastr wiki!

Some users have experienced problems getting keycastr working under OS X 10.5.6. OS X apparently considers keycastr a visual assistive device. Open System Preferences → Universal Access. Click the ‘Seeing’ tab. Make sure the “Enable access for assistive devices” box is checked. Restart keycastr if it’s already running.

If you are using iTerm or Terminal.app, make sure “Secure Keyboard Entry” is disabled in the app’s menu or otherwise KeyCastr won’t be able to capture keystrokes. See issue #61 for more information.
