Additional Information
I tried a few things while fiddling.
I added my app to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Input Monitoring, but to no avail. I also added the electron.app fiddle downloaded there just to make sure.
Protip: move ~/Library/Application Support/Electron Fiddle/electron-bin to your home directory and create a symlink from there to the electron fiddle folder in app support so you can browse to the electron-bin folder and add the electron.app to security and privacy. Finder won't allow you to browse through Library by default, it's hidden.
There are numerous issues on this topic, namely #24052 where adding the app to input monitoring apparently works with Electron 8. It might be a regression but I am not quite sure : Electron 8 isn't available through fiddle. I went as far back as 11.4.11 and couldn't get it to work.
Note : I tested this on an Apple Silicon but it likely affects Intel versions too.
Any help would be appreciated! :)
