Hi, my typical flow for using Clipy is:

  1. Press Hotkey to launch "Full Menu" with history
  2. Press the "right" arrow key to select the first 10 items
  3. Press the "up"/"down" arrow keys to choose the right item

#2 is broken unless I manually enable "Input Monitoring" in my Accessibility settings
