First Run
Upon first launch, SwitchKey will ask for accessibility permission.
SwitchKey will open accessibility page, and exit.
After you grant permission, re-launch SwitchKey again.
The same will happen if you reject the permission later.

Purchase
I wrote this because I tried some other tools.
They are either buggy or too cumbersome to configure.
I payed money and time for them.
So you don't have to pay for them anymore.
