# 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.
