<f8> doesnt toggle dark mode

[Vardhamann]

Hi,
I use the SEP 11th arm(correction, currently using non-arm) version of sioyek,

Whats happening:
Whenever i try to use f8 to toggle dark mode, it opens the donate page.

Expected behavior:
f8 toggles dark mode.

Using the command search / pallete toggle dark mode works there and also indicates that it is bound to f8.

All user_keys and user_prefs files are empty.
Unsure if this is a bug or theres some quirk on my setup,
Have tried deleting application support.

Please advice further diagnostic steps.
Thank you.

Which operating system are you on? What is in your keys.config file (not keys_user.config). Does adding toggle_dark_mode <f8> to keys_user.config fix the issue?

I am on Mac OS 15.2 (24C101) on an M1 macbook pro.

I have looked at keys.config (Applications/Sioyek/Contents/MacOS/keys.config)
The following is already present
# Toggle dark mode (inverted colors)
toggle_dark_mode <f8>

The keys_user.config is blank, at both the application_support and Applications/Sioyek/Contents/MacOS locations.

I just tried to reinstall sioyek, deleting Application support files, cache etc. and noticed that only the non-ARM version works for me (after signing it myself). The arm version says its damaged and doesnt work even if i try signing the app.

I have been able to replicate the issue even after reinstalling.

This error does not happen in the 2.0.0 version installed using homebrew, just checked.

The damaged thing is a new security feature on Mac. see #1156 (comment).

I am also experiencing this! (f8 opens the donation page on the non-arm build. https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek/releases/tag/sioyek3-alpha0)

I don't understand. The non-arm version and arm version are compiled using the exact same code.

Hi @ahrm,

I’m encountering the same issue with sioyek3-alpha0 (ARM version) on macOS 15.3.1. Pressing F8 opens the donation page instead of toggling dark mode. Here are some of my findings:

• The "Donate" button in the menu bar's "Help" tab is associated with F8.

  

• The command list indicates that the "toggle_dark_mode" command is bound to F8.

  

• The command list shows no keys are bound to the "donate" command.

  

I suspect there may be a double-definition issue with the keyboard bindings. I hope this helps you locate the problem.

Ah thank you! that actually does help a lot. I think the issue should be fixed in 990c77e now, though I don't have a mac machine so I have not tested it.

Thanks for your prompt response. I compiled and tested the change on macOS and can confirm that this resolved the issue, though a small fix is ​​needed to compile the development branch, see #1329
