Karabiner-elements: Sometimes KE loses connection to OSX

Created on 28 Jan 2018 · 2Comments · Source: pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements

Title is maybe not so good. If think it's a lager trouble than #1219. It's the same behaviour but this time without any KE version change.

Sometime (I never switch off my Mac for weeks) Karabiner-Element seems to lose connection to some OS X information so Complexes Modifications are not applied anymore when frontmost application is concerned. Restarting KE is not enough. Restart user session is needed.

Log says almost every seconds:

To avoid killing your session, you can just kill karabiner grabber this way:
sudo killall karabiner_grabber

It looks to restart alone. Then restart K-E and it's all right. Maybe a restart grabber button in K-E would be nicer.
