These scripts have been rewritten to work with the "autokey-py3" version of AutoKey, which means Python 3.*
I installed this version of AutoKey with pip3 install autokey
rather than
using the distro-supplied version, or a PPA, because of problems I had with the
clipboard functions on newer distros, namely elementaryOS Loki, based
on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial).
*There's an abandoned copy of my old Python 2.x-compatible AutoKey config at ernstki/autokey-config-py27
When you're setting up a new system, you can clone this repository to
~/.config/autokey
:
cd ~/.config
test -f autokey && mv autokey autokey.old
# Weirauch Lab (internal)
git clone $GITHOSTURL/$MYUSER/autokey-config.git autokey
# GitHub
git clone https://github.com/ernstki/autokey-config autokey
Then you should be able to just fire up AutoKey from the system menus.
The AutoKey project's documentation got a little bit disorganized when the original maintainer stopped, um, maintaining it. Now there are two GitHub projects, and the original Google Code site which is basically just a tombstone.
Here are some essential references can be kind of hard to find:
- AutoKey API Documentation - original API reference
- Special Keys - on the GitHub wiki
- autokey-users Google Group
Made available under the terms of version 2 of the WTFPL.
