ERROR: hotkey: xxx is registered

[OlegGulevskyy]

I am trying to use this library with wails GUI library and everytime I get the error message that a hotkey is registered

ERROR: hotkey: 109+4+1 is registered

X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
  Major opcode of failed request:  33 (X_GrabKey)
  Serial number of failed request:  10
  Current serial number in output stream:  11

exit status 1

no matter which key I am using with any modifier
not even sure where to look for some additional debuggin info, would you have any advice / help?

I think this is a known issue, see #11

So this means that there is no solution currently? Sorry I am far from familiar with native terms, so hard to understand the conclusion from the linked issue

[changkun]

The reason for having this error is that someone else had registered this hotkey combination already. To solve it, guarantee the key combination does not conflict with others.

I think @ventsislav-georgiev worked on potential solutions before, but we have not converged to a satisfactory solution yet.

So this means that if some app, somewhere somehow assigned a key bind and this app is not even active anymore / not listening for key use, this lib won't be able to use this shortcut anyway? Because I am assigning completely "random" shortcut making sure it is not used (when I use it nothing happens), it still returns an error

[changkun]

I think if you already grabbed the combination for your application successfully, future registration won't impact your registration anymore.

I don't entirely sure how you did random shortcuts, but I am pretty confident that some combination will work. Otherwise, it should be a system issue rather than the library itself.

Actually it was totally my bad, I was misusing the library - instantiating it in the wrong place of execution :) Thank you for your help though!
