The focus must be set to the terminal window tab of pyILPER. You also should check the configuration of the keyboard type in the "configuration pulldown menu". The current setting is the disabled entry in the menu.

I did a check of the pyILPER terminal keyboard with my HP-71 (HP-IL ROM 1B) and PIL-Box firmware 2.1 on mac OS Catalina (VMware guest) right now with no issues so far.

If the problem is persisting I recommend to:
- Use the FTDI VCP driver for macOS (if not already installed)
- Do a fresh installation of the actual miniconda and pyILPER version
- Install KEYBOARD.LEX and PILTERM.BAS from the virtual disk which is part of the latest pyILPER release.
