Bug #2120: Hotkey Ctrl-/ can't be registered, doesn't fire (under Mavericks?)

Description

I just upgraded from ML to Mavericks last night. Today, my Synergy hotkey for "Play/Pause" no longer has any effect on iTunes when pressed. Additionally, there seems to be a class of Ctrl-_ combinations that I can no longer *assign* as hotkeys in Synergy Preferences.

For example:

  • Ctrl-/ does not work.
  • Ctrl-Opt-/ does not work.
  • Ctrl-Shift-? works.

    I take some of this back-- after messing with the new System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility panel and adding Synergy Preferences (and the bundled Synergy.app) in there, I am able to get the hotkeys working again.

    However, the caveat is that Synergy Preferences no longer seems to be able to properly stop a running background instance of Synergy.app (requiring a manual kill -9 from the command line or force quit in Activity Monitor). I haven't determined all of the cases where this is true, however just clicking "Apply" in Synergy Preferences after changing hotkeys no longer updates the bound hotkeys in realtime-- it's necessary to kill the background Synergy.app and relaunch it for the keys to work again.

    Hi - I can't seem to modify the Hot Keys in my new install of Mavericks. I can clear a given key but there is no way to insert the pointer to create a new one. I tried dragging the preferences app into the security privacy zone in preferences. Doesn't seem to do a thing. Any clue what is going on?
