Karabiner connect failed: 2 on macOS Tahoe #298
Description
The tray icon showed up momentarily in the menu bar, through which I opened the config file. While editing the file the menu bar icon went away and on further investigation I got the following error when trying to manually run keymapper commands:
sudo keymapperd -v
