hammerspoon: Hammerspoon sometimes doesn't pick up keys bound to a modal

Sometimes hammerspoon will get into a state where I have a modal up, but it won’t listen to any of the keys bound with the modal. When it’s in this state, it happens consistently, as in I can re-create the modal and face the same issue. When I close the modal I see hotkey: Deleted hotkey ... for each key in the modal, suggesting it was actually bound.

Seems to persist restarting Hammerspoon at the moment.

Running version 0.9.97 on Monterey 12.6

Any suggestions on how to get extra info to debug when in this state?

just want to chime in that it has happened to me too in the same way (Monterey 12.2.1):

  • single chars with no modifiers broken, but not all of them, for me “Q” broke but “W” kept working
  • problem persisted after HS restart
  • I can’t remember how the problem fixed itself but it was only broken for like half a day
