Answer 1

Found the problem.

For some strange reasons; OSX is uber-picky about returning events, so unless you go in the security settings and enable Pycharm to be in the list of apps that are allowed to use accessibility, it won't work.

I didn't try on Windows yet, but I assume it will be the same issue. The only gripe I have is that I have no idea how to add Python itself to the list of supported accessibility apps; since the control panel does not allow me to go in /usr/local/bin, which is where I have Python3 installed (via Brew).
