`skhd` stopped working on MacOS after homebrew upgrade

[TheKnarf]

After running homebrew upgrade skhd no longer seems to work:

$ brew services start skhd
Error: Formula `skhd` has not implemented #plist, #service or installed a locatable service file
$ skhd --version
skhd-v0.3.9

Running just skhd does work, but kind of breaks my workflow, why does it no longer work with homebrew services?

I met same problem, too.

@koekeishiya Appears to have removed the plist functionality in the last several minor versions (started here) in favor of instead using skhd --start-service and friends. See more here.

Thanks @kevinclark for pointing that out. I wasn't able to use skhd for like 20 minutes, my entire computer was unusable, I need this hotkey daemon to function.

skhd: could not open file '/Users/xxxx/.config/skhd/skhdrc' when I using the skhd --start-service enable it, but I using the skhd enable just OK.
