Problem
Right after a fresh install, pressing Super + Space inside the guest opens the macOS Spotlight / Finder search on the host instead of the Omarchy launcher (walker). The keystroke never reaches the guest.
Accessibility is already enabled for Try Omarchy in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility, so this does not look like the setup issue reported in #13.
Steps to reproduce
- Install and launch Try Omarchy, complete the first-run VM provisioning.
- Click inside the VM window so it is the key window.
- Press
Super + Space.
Expected: the Omarchy start menu / launcher opens inside the guest.
Actual: macOS Spotlight (Finder search) opens on the host; nothing happens in the guest.
Environment
- Try Omarchy 0.4.0
- macOS 15.6.1 (24G90), Apple M1
- Accessibility permission granted to
Try Omarchy
Notes
This may be the same root cause described in #46: macOS dispatches symbolic hot keys (Command-Space, Command-Tab) above every CGEventTap, so full-grab cannot swallow them. If that is expected behaviour, it would help to document it (and/or suggest disabling the Spotlight shortcut in macOS Keyboard settings) somewhere in the README or first-run flow, since Super + Space is the main entry point in Omarchy.
Happy to test a build or provide logs if useful. Thanks for the project!
