I recently upgraded my Mac Mini M1 to Sequoia from Sonoma, since then the one thing I use KM for has stopped working.
I’ve upgraded KM to the latest version, and after finding some articles about Apple restricting the use of the Option key for shortcuts, tried invoking it using my Stream Deck instead, but it still won’t work.
Has anyone else encountered this please?
Apple reversed the option key business in later updates FYI
This was supposedly fixed (option key re-enabled for keyboard shortcuts) in macOS 15.2, however it seems it is still an issue.
A user who goes by “Frameworks Engineer Apple” posted on the Apple Developer Forums:
This issue has been addressed in macOS 15.2 Beta 2 (Build: 24C5073e). The hotkey API now allows hotkeys with only Option (or Option-Shift), without also requiring Command or Control modifiers.

However, there are several responses indicating that the issue persists.
For the Stream Deck, are you using the Keyboard Maestro plugin or KMLink? Maybe try activating with the other one. At least with KMLink, you can remove any triggers on the macro in Keyboard Maestro.
I’ve using the Official one. I may try swapping, but the fact that using the streamdeck also didn’t work (I removed the option to use a keyboard shortcut from the KM Shortcut) suggests it’s something with KM and Sequoia rather than a Streamdeck issue.
I’m still confused. This has worked for years.
Can anyone see why it may have stopped working. The only significant change was to upgrade to Sequoia
It doesn’t work via a Keyboard Shortcut or via Streamdeck.
What does happen though is that the Edit menu item in the Menubar highlights for half a second.
I can see from Show Clipboard that it’s copying the filename
Any help would be much appreciated.
When something like this happens, I try to throw in a pause of half a second or a second at various points in the macro until things start working again.
I had trouble as well. I was able to get this one working in 15.3.2 with the keyboard shortcut, assuming the macro is supposed to be activated from Finder.
