How to access the settings? (fall 2022 release)

ti-vim is a Menu bar app. You access settings from the ‘v’ logo in the menu bar.

Vim key is not working

• Try setting the vim key to something else, and then back to your key in settings.
• Check if all the karabiner processes are running

• You can check if ti-vim modifications 1-12 are in ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json. In that file, search for ‘(ti-vim 1)’ – ‘(ti-vim 12)’. You can also check whether there are any conflicting manipulators for the ti-vim ones.
• Try reinstalling the app. This might enable MacOS system permissions for Karabiner.

◦ Uninstall ti-vim from the ti-vim app settings.
◦ remove karabiner_grabber and karabiner_observer from Setting > Privacy & Security > Input Monitoring.
◦ remove ti-vim settings with this Terminal command: defaults delete com.tonisives.ti-vim
◦ Restart MacOS
◦ Install ti-vim again. Go through the install flow again. Check if you allow all permissions.
