Thank you so much for your help! You were totally right, it sure wasn't "fun" to call CGEventTap from swift ;) But I managed to solve it thanks to you! I have a follow-up question regarding accessibility permission that I think might help more people since it seems a bit quirky: Programmatically press "delete" or "cmd + v" in sandboxed app I would appreciate it a lot if you could take a look!

Thank you so much once again Quinn! Do you have any suggestions on how I can find these things myself? I've googled and searched for this so much but never stumbled upon CGRequestPostEventAccess or CGPreflightPostEventAccess. Or do you just know these things from experience?
