Contributing

You can either use Xcode (be careful with signing) or build it directly from the command line:

Build and run from the command line

make run

Accessibility permissions running locally

Make sure you don't have Swift Shift running already. If you have 2 versions of Swift Shift, only one will get Accessibility permissions. To fix it:

• Quit all Swift Shift instances
• Remove Swift Shift from the System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility
• Run the app you want to test
• Enable Accessibility permissions

I'm open to PRs and requests. If you are looking for something to do, take a look at the issues marked as help wanted.
