Livesplit doesn't work properly with Mac games

Hey,
I was going to speed run a Mac game using a nice Windows tool Livesplit for timing. The tool captures hotkeys to split, skip, reset etc. I've configured it to stay on top and enabled global hotkeys. However, when I switch to some Mac application, including the game I wanted to run, Livesplit doesn't react on the hotkeys and doesn't stay on top.
What can I do to be able to use Livesplit?
 
Hi Andriik,
Could you please give us more details about the issue & It would be great if you can provide us the steps to reproduce the issue (1,2,3...).
 
Hey,
Sorry for delayed reply.
Here are the steps to reproduce.
1. Download Livesplit at http://livesplit.github.io/downloads/
2. Run LiveSplit.exe. By default, the timer will be shown http://imgur.com/DlYaWra
3. To enable "Stay on top", right click on the timer and select "Edit Layout..." in the drop-down menu. It will open the "Layout Editor" window. Select "Layout settings". On the layout tab you will find "Always on top" checkbox. See http://imgur.com/n3SVs5Z
4. To enable "Global hotkeys", right click on the timer and click "Settings" in the drop-down menu. There will be the "Global hotkeys" checkbox. See http://imgur.com/DcSyoUe
5. Test starting/resetting the timer, while it's an active window. The keys for that can be configured in the "Settings" window, mentioned above. The default for start is Num1, the default for reset is Num3. I'm enabling num keys on my mac keyboard by pressing "Clear" above the num pad.
6. Switch to some of the mac, not coherence windows. The timer will no longer be on top and timer won't react on the hotkeys. If an active window will be one of the coherence windows, everything will work as expected.
