Feature Request: Allow user to define storage location

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be a nice bonbon if a user could select where autokey should save a 
users abbreviations-set.

Autokeys Preferences would be a good place to define such a storage location 
(shutter - screenshot tool is offering that function in a simple & user 
friendly way)

Like that users could easily sync autokey-sets from one computer to another 
(i.e. using dropbox)

For sure not an important extra-functions- but it would be a comfort-thing ;)


Best regards & big thanks for autokey (lovely app)

You could already do this by moving your ~/.config/autokey folder into your 
dropbox, then creating a symlink to that folder in ~/.config. However, I'll 
keep this open as a possible future enhancement.

Hi,

yes i know that users can use symlinks. 

Offering that option (see ticket) inside autokeys-prefs is just user-friendly 
compared to terminal/symlinking manually.

Version 0.80.0 implements a new configuration backend that allows users to 
create their folders anywhere they wish.
