Can anyone provide a stacktrace?

[marcelblum]

Further to what @ash0x0 asked, can you provide pics of the keyboard you are seeing this on and details on keyboard model? (Is it Apple official? 3rd party? Built into Macbook?). Unable to repro here on several Apple & generic/3rd party keyboards that I've tested on. Some media keys get trapped by iohook and others seemingly ignored, but no crashes here.

[DCzajkowski]

I crashes for me when using touch bar media controls (volume, play/pause). However, this happens only when running the app through a terminal with electron app.js. When the app is built using electron-builder I've experienced it once or twice, but cannot reproduce every time.

Environment:

• macOS Catalina 10.15.7,
• MacBook Pro 16",
• iohook running in Electron 11 on Node 14 in the main process,
• no external keyboard/mouse attached.
