Automatically paste by default doesn't work since version 0.6.0 on macOS 10.14.6

[michaelkar]

After updating to version 0.6.0, setting
defaults write org.p0deje.Maccy pasteByDefault true # default is false
has no effect.
Moving back to release 0.5.1 'paste by default' works as expected.

It seems like there is a problem with how macOS identifies Maccy and its permissions. I need to figure it out, but try the following workaround for now:

1. Open "Security & Privacy" preferences pane.
2. Open "Accessibility" tab.
3. Unlock to make changes.
4. Remove Maccy from the list.
5. Restart Maccy.
6. Paste from Maccy now.

This should ask for permissions once again and it should work without issues since then.

@p0deje the proposed flow solved the issue for me. Thank you!

Should be better in 0.8.0

Still happending with 0.8.2 on macos 10.15.2 (19C57)
The workaround on top works, but an existing user might never try that.

@synox Can you show a screenshot of "Security & Privacy" -> "Accessibility" tab?

Testing on my second mac: I had 0.7 Past by default did not work. now upgraded to 0.8.2. Paste by default does not work.
Accessibility does not list Maccy.

(On my first mac, there was a ticked Maccy in Accessibility, but it only worked after removing the entry and pasting something. )

It might be related to the version upgrade. Let me try installing 0.7 and then 0.8.2.

[p0deje]

Hm, still can't reproduce.

1. Installed 0.7
2. Tried pasteByDefault and it asked for accessibility permissions
3. Denied
4. Installed 0.8.2
5. Tried pasteByDefault and it asked for accessibility permissions
6. Granted

I faced same issue @p0deje, worked after following your solution here.

Still present in 0.15.0, but the workaround fixed it
