Public bug reported:

Sikuli version: sikulixidemacm-2.0.6-20230417.154405-2.jar
OS: Mac OS X 15.1 (24B83)

1. Start from a Terminal using `java -jar sikuli...jar`
2. Click Chrome's URL bar (or any text input field on a web page)
3. Press key for number 2 (above w on qwerty keyboard)

Expected result
4. Number 2 appears in Chrome

Actual result
4. Sikuli starts taking a screenshot

Problem:
While Sikuli is running, I can't use some of these keys that are "hijacked" by Sikuli. 

My use case:
I use Sikuli to automate 95% of a repetitive job that creates PDF files from various sources. At the end of the script, it leaves me with just having to assign a name to the final PDF. This worked fine on earlier Mac OS X (14.x) but is now broken on macOS Sequoia.
