RavenPermissions
Raven asks for two permissions, both so that it can hear its shortcut.
| Accessibility | For the event tap that catches Raven’s shortcut before other apps see it, and for reading your open windows. |
| Input Monitoring | For opening Raven with Caps Lock and for custom shortcuts. |
When the shortcut stops working
Raven notices a grant straight away. If it can’t hear its shortcut, its menu bar icon says so, and the menu offers the fix.
Sometimes System Settings shows Raven as allowed but it still can’t hear anything. Settings → General → Permissions → Troubleshoot… opens the setup window, where one click resets Raven’s permissions and reopens it so you can grant them afresh. While System Settings is open, a small card beside it holds Raven’s icon: drag it into the list if Raven isn’t there.
If macOS ever starts stalling Raven’s keyboard listener, which would slow every keystroke and click, Raven switches it off within seconds and offers to relaunch.
