The newest OSX update broke Clonedkeys for me. I downloaded the old version, regular Clonekeys, and found that it's lagging up much much less than Clonedkeys was. I got much quicker response out of it. Give it a try if you have any issues with the newest version. Hopefully I can have the guys working on this looking into this oddity.

I've included the fix in CloneKeys into the ClonedKeys code (which is bizarre as the fix on CloneKeys is credited to the person running ClonedKeys even though the fix isn't included in that app's source). Anyway... here're some instructions for the computer savvy person who can't wait for an official fix.

If you don't have XCode, get it ('http://developer.apple.com/TOOLS/xcode/').
If you don't have SVN, get it ('http://homepage.mac.com/martinott/').
Download the ClonedKeys source ('http://code.google.com/p/clonedkeys/source/checkout') using the command in a Terminal window:


svn checkout http://clonedkeys.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ clonedkeys-read-only
Wait for it to finish. Apply the patch with the command:


cd clonedkeys-read-only && curl -C - http://djmcgreal.co.uk/files/ClonedKeys10.5.8Patch.diff | patch CloneKeys.cp

Open up CloneKeys.xcodeproj in XCode, go to the menu: Build -> Build, you now have a new ClonedKeys.app in the directory where you ran your svn checkout command (/Users/<user>/clonedkeys-read-only/build/Debug/ by default).

Enjoy,
Dan.

Not that savvy but those instructions were spot on. ClonedKeys now works correctly again!
I had been using CloneKeys since 10.5.6 botch and dealing with the shortfalls (movement) of the original.

Thanks much for your help. :D

I am sorry to say that this was a bit too savvy for me ...
I am using Clonedkeys 0.2. What issue is fixed doing this?

And ... how do you do it?

Please forgive my lameness.
