Keyboard loses some functionality when switching apps

This is a known issue with the Mac driver in Wine. See the README for a workaround.

I never got the recommendation in the README to fix this; I end up clicking on a menu bar utility like Bluetooth or WiFi, and then click back on the game to get it working again

@CobreDev Thanks for the suggestion! I imagine that would have the same effect. Is it safe to assume that you're playing in windowed mode, then?

Correct

Noted, thanks. I may be wrong but this sounds like one specific approach to the same workaround, which is to remove focus from the game and then return it via the mouse. I'll add your example to the readme in the future. :)

The directions in README didn't work for me. I did find a workaround myself:

  1. After pressing cmd+alt and switching to another window minimize all windows such that Among Us window appears but with dock and top menu bar (with apple icon on left).
  2. Then right click (two finger) on among us anywhere (not docker or top bar).
  3. Then keep left clicking (one finger tap) until the dock and top bar disappear. Keyboard should now work

@mmalhotra Thank you very much! This deserves further investigation and will be added to the readme in the future.
