Yaesu 897D not setting up BOTH VFOs

OK, so reading the issue, I have a comment and several questions.

First, when I engage the radio (GPredict, radio engage), I never see the uplink VFO updated (either Hamlib commands or visually on the radio itself).

When I do the macport command, I cannot force it to download the latest Hamlib
mine is showing:
rigctl, Hamlib 3.0.1

IS there a way to for it to download the 3.2?

And for the question:

I see in the issue where they are talking about the space bar to put radio in/out of transmit mode - I am on a Mac and the space bar activates the last button that the mouse selected (for example, the down arrow to get to the rig control) or such. Is the space bar supposed to switch VFOs and then put it in transmit mode? So I don’t use the PTT on the mic?
