Welcome to discourse, quick FYI, a specific error is more appropriate as a new post than reviving an old thread announcing and discussing the overall package. It really improves reach and focus, so I encourage you to make one. Before you do, maybe try installing Mousetrap v0.3.1 with the preceding Julia versions (1.9, 1.10) that were around since its release and see how the error changes. That could be valuable hints to mention in your post.

I believe [this is the fork with the patches for 1.11](https://github.com/HyperSphereStudio/Mousetrap.jl).
