cmd + tab sound

Open jesuscapistran opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Love your keyboard simulator! Actually, at this moment I am using profile 2.

I have noticed the sound is muted while pressing cmd + tab to select between different Mac Apps. It could be great to incorporate the sound.

  • alt + other keys = works
  • cmd + tab = works only the first time
  • cmd + tab, tab = doesn't make a keyboard sound.

Kind regards Jesús

Thank you for the feedback. I will try to figure this out, but it may be an Apple limitation. It looks like as soon as the task switcher pops up it fully takes over all keyboard events and doesn't allow any of the events to travel back to other listeners. I hope there is a trick to override it. It's similar to how you also will not hear any sounds when entering passwords. Likewise this is a security limitation, a good one in this case. What happens in that case is that all key even listeners, accept for the system ones, are disabled. I am not sure what the security implications in this case would be, but it feels like that. I'll take a look into it in as soon as I have a few hours to play around.

Hi @x0054, thanks for taking the time in my feedback.

May be is not an Apple limitation. Last week while testing the MKS, I found another App called JazzUP (experimental app), which does the sound type effect while pressing cmd + tab + tab in MacOS v12.4. As you said, it could be a trick but let's find time to play around.

Kind regards Jesús
