• If you know ahead of time which apps in which you'll use this, add them to Security & Privacy > Accessibility
• If not, adding a new one is a three step process:
  1. Alert 1: “Sublime Text.app“ wants access to control “System Events.app“. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “System Events.app“, and to perform actions within that app.
  2. Alert 2: The action “Run AppleScript” encountered an error: “System Events got an error: com.automator.runner.xpc is not allowed to send keystrokes.
  3. App has been added to Security & Privacy > Accessibility list, but you still need to authenticate and select the checkbox to enable the app.
