Cannot add Doomsday to macOS "Accessibility" settings
Running macOS 10.14 (Mojave) & 2.0.3 Doomsday Engine
When I attempt to add the Doomsday shell to "Accessibility" under the "Security & Privacy" panel in Settings (to prevent it from recognizing game input as macOS shortcuts), I cannot do so. Dragging and dropping the app doesn't add it to the list of excepted apps and I cannot hit the "+" button and add Doomsday. As a result, I can't play anything using default keymappings, because macOS will switch to things like the app switcher, desktop switcher, etc.
I've created a video to demonstrate exactly what's going on

Personally I've just disabled macOS shortcuts like Control+Left and Control+Right, since that occurs very frequently when playing.
I believe that a real solution to this issue won't be available until Doomsday 2.2, because that's when I plan to switch all input handling to SDL (from the current Qt library), which should provide game-like app-exclusive input behavior. Qt is meant for regular desktop apps so it by design doesn't try to override any system shortcuts.
When it comes to the Mojave Security & Privacy dialog, I'm not sure what's the problem there. It could be that because 2.0.3 is built for macOS 10.10 using the SDK for 10.12, there is a compatibility issue with the newer OS.
