Mac M2 Keyman does not work with ELAN transcription nor Audacity label text.
Welcome to the community @Peter_Wilson,
This is a bug in Java which ELAN is build on. Our developer had fixed this issue and we’re waiting for the fixed to land in Java.
You can take a look at this PR for more details on the issue: bug(mac): Java does not appear to be 100% compatible with InputMethodKit #3935.
Have a nice day!
Hi Nguonnyn,
Great to hear from you. Also, perhaps you haven’t seen, but the problem also occurs when trying to enter labels into Audacity (which is programmed in C++.) Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Peter

@Peter_Wilson yes, we are aware ofthe Audacity labels issue.
This is a known problem in Audacity, which we are tracking in the Keyman issue database at https://github.com/keymanapp/keyman/issues/523 – which links to the Audacity issue and follow-up discussion there. The issue impacts Audacity on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Workarounds (from Audacity bug report) are:
1: Enable the “use dialog for name of a new label” option, in the track behaviors category of Preferences.
OR 2: Type the desired label into TextEdit then copy and paste into the label.
I know both of those workarounds are awkward though!
Note, also tracking in Audacity at Can't enter hash sign (#) into a track label on macOS Ventura using Swiss German Keyboard layout. · Issue #5163 · audacity/audacity · GitHub
