Have you also tested with other terminals, e.g. the default macOS Terminal? I've seen some custom iTerm setups cause issues with our app - you can try running q debug shell to see if that resolves it.

Hello @brandonskiser,
Thanks for your advices. I tried but nothing work.
I tried with ITerm and the default macOS Terminal but nothing happen.
When i try to use it in the vscode terminal it's work but only in the vscode terminal

Having the same issue here; however, I'm on Mac, so UNIX, and I need to manually reopen Amazon Q and reconfigure shell integration to get it to work.

[LePtiDev]

Thanks @TY37zhang i tried but nothing change 👎
I hope somebody will fix that for you also

[Garett601]

Have the exact same issue - tried all the suggestions and nothing is resolving the issue

[LePtiDev]

Any idea how to solve it ? I still stuck on my bug

[TY37zhang]

I just manually quit Amazon Q and reopen it, and sometimes that doesn't work. I try to re-enable integration with Hyper (my choice). I think it has something to do with MacOS shell's behavior after sleep and wake...

[LePtiDev]

@TY37zhang it's fix the issue for you to restart ? Because i tried to restart again and again but nothing append..

[TY37zhang]

99% of the time, it works, restart the app, but there are occasional times that it does not work.
I don't recall the app having any issue before it was acquired by Amazon...
At this point, I might switch back to Wrap since they have this function built in IRC, though it's way heavier than Hyper.

[LePtiDev]

I tried with hyper also but it's still doesn't work. I tried to delete it and tried again but nothing happen. It's still work in my vscode terminal but not in mac os terminal, hyper, Iterm2. Any other ideas ?

[LePtiDev]

No body work on this repository ?

[brandonskiser]

Hey sorry for the late response on this - might need some more information about your setup to debug this. Could be an issue related to accessibility. Can you maybe try another terminal that depends on input method being installed instead? e.g. one of the listed terminals here

VSCode uses a plugin that might lead to it working and others failing otherwise.

I tried with kitty and it's working.. I run the commande line:
q integrations install input-method
restart the shell and it's working on kitty.

But not on iterm. I tried the same commande but nothing happends
