Due to the security features of macOS a few settings will need to be configured in System Preferences in order for Polarity to function as intended.

Enabling Shortcut Keys on macOS

Polarity uses system wide shortcut keys that allow users to run an on-demand search. In order to use Polarity Shortcut keys you will need to grant Polarity permission from within the macOS Accessibility settings.

To change the Accessibility setting for Polarity:

  1. Navigate to System Preferences on your macOS

  2. Click on Security & Privacy

  3. Navigate to the Privacy tab

  4. Go to Accessibility and find PolarityX

  5. Click on the checkbox next to the Polarity Icon

You will need to Restart the client to start using the shortcut keys.
