https://github.com/pablopunk/SwiftShift/assets/4324982/5aac5bab-ad87-43c1-b2fe-fd55077f56f6
## Contributing
You can either use Xcode ([be careful with signing](https://github.com/pablopunk/SwiftShift/issues/52#issuecomment-2160423351)) or build it
directly from the command line:
### Build and run from the command line
```bash
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
