 Also, Sequoia tends to re-request Screen Monitoring permissions periodically which may be a nuisance, and for headless or unattended Macs may be a serious problem.
+==== Is Keyboard Maestro compatible with Tahoe? ====
+Yes, Keyboard Maestro version 11 is fully compatible with Tahoe. In fact, Keyboard Maestro versions going back as far as version 4.x still work fine on Tahoe.
+Tahoe seems to have some sort of bug with where it places status menus, so they may move around or have gaps between them. Hopefully Apple will resolve the issue promptly.
+The Tesseract OCR library that Keyboard Maestro uses frequently fails with a memory corruption in Sequoia, and likely in Tahoe too (unverified). It is unlikely we will be able to fix this, however the Apple Text Recognition supported by recent versions of Keyboard Maestro generally works better in most cases. Note that it currently supports English-only, so if you use OCR on non-English text, this may be a problem for you.
+Similar to previous versions it is likely there are endless little niggles in the security system which may cause issues when first getting Keyboard Maestro permission.

 ==== How can I close the Keyboard Maestro editor window? ====
-You can (v8+) click the close box on the editor window and it will quit the editor for you.
+You can click the close box on the editor window and it will close the editor window.
+If the last window is closed, the editor will quit. The Keyboard Maestro Engine will continue running and processing your macros after you quit the Keyboard Maestro editor. Read the [Quick Start](http://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/Quick_Start) for more details about the difference between the editor and the engine.
+Note that while you can have more than one editor window open, it can quickly slow down Keyboard Maestro so it is generally best to only have one editor window open unless you need to refer to two macros at the same time. Also, it is generally a good idea to quit the Keyboard Maestro editor when you are not editing your macros and leave just the Keyboard Maestro Engine running.
