I'm itching to use this but it malfunctions when I run hints in the Terminal: https://github.com/AlfredoSequeida/hints

It yields:

(hints:10812): dbind-WARNING **: 17:25:16.703: AT-SPI: Unable to open bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/1000/at-spi2-1RE4O3/socket: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/redacted/.local/bin/hints", line 10, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
            ^^^^^^
File "/home/redacted/.local/share/uv/tools/hints/lib/python3.12/site-packages/hints/hints.py", line 375, in main
    hint_mode(config, window_system)
File "/home/redacted/.local/share/uv/tools/hints/lib/python3.12/site-packages/hints/hints.py", line 229, in hint_mode
    mouse_action["x"] + mouse_x_offset,
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^
KeyError: 'x'

Does anyone have any idea of what to do here? Thanks in advance!
