# Mac Keybinds

Due to Apple's permission restrictions, and limited support on newer Apple Silicon processors - Sonoran Radio takes a couple of extra steps to setup global keybinds.

## 1. Modify File Permission

Sonoran Radio must adjust a file permission in order to listen to keybinds while the application is running. You will be prompted to enter your computer's password:

## 2. Grant Accessibility Access

When first setting a keybind, you will be prompted to add the `Accessibility` permission for keyboard and mouse input detection.

Click the `Open System Preferences` button, and toggle the permission on for `Sonoran Radio`.

*If you do not see the `Sonoran Radio` application as an option, click the `+` button in the bottom right and select the program from your `Applications` folder.*<br>

You can also manually open this menu via `System Settings` > `Privacy and Security` > `Accessibility`
{% endhint %}

After toggling access on, you will be prompted to restart the application.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/radio/tutorials/usage/troubleshooting/mac-keybinds.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
