I am on a Mac (M3 MacBook Pro, Tahoe 26.1) and so far I haven't been able to get the plaintext Unicode typing to work. LaTeX mode works fine so the keyboard is certainly functional.
I followed the manual and troubleshooting info.
1. MathPad Service is installed and running. Used current 1.0.0 DMG. Confirmed with 'ps ax | grep -i math'
2. Accessibility permission is granted, and on state persists when reopening Privacy & Security > Accessibility.
3. I updated the firmware to 1.2.0. Original was 1.1.0. Current debug output is below.
4. When the OS popped up the Keyboard Support Assistant on initial connection, I hit Quit. This has been the suggested action for other custom keyboards but I wonder if it is a factor here.
I tried plaintext mode in the Getting Started browser fields, TextEdit, and Obsidian with no output. I also tried Microsoft equation mode inside an Office equation field, same result.
Appreciate any help with ideas to get it working.
