AutoKey config

Requirements

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

How to use this

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.

Scripting reference

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
