Autokey fails to send special characters

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Creating phrase with special characters (I used ◕ ◡ ◕)
2.Trying to use the phrase
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I was hoping I could phrasebind ◕ ◡ ◕ so I didn't have to copy it from
somewhere or set up text filters on xchat and pidgin but when I tried to
invoke the phrase, it didn't send the special characters, only the spaces

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.70.4-1 on Arch Linux

Unclear licensing situation

Hi,

It's not clear from the website and the tarball which GPL version the code
is under. Each file is licensed as GPLv2 (according to licensecheck), yet
the Google Code site says GPLv3.

Currently following what the source says.

Cannot "stop" autokey daemon on non-English locales

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install another language, such as fr_FR
2. Execute the following in a terminal:

:: TEST CASE ::
root@karmic-vm:~# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
root@karmic-vm:~# invoke-rc.d autokey start
root@karmic-vm:~# pkill -9 -f autokey
root@karmic-vm:~# LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 invoke-rc.d autokey stop
[Errno 3] Aucun processus de ce type
invoke-rc.d: initscript autokey, action "stop" failed.
root@karmic-vm:~#
:: END TEST CASE ::

The error lies on
http://code.google.com/p/autokey/source/browse/trunk/src/lib/daemon.py#111
, where the daemon checks the error text rather than the error code.

This error seems to primarily be presenting itself when removing the
autokey package, but can occur under the situation described above. See
https://launchpad.net/bugs/479131 for more information.

clipboard.get_selection sometimes fails

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Assign a hotkey to a script using clipboard.get_selection.
2.  Save, and close the configuration window.
3.  Try using the script on selected text.
This problem typically does not occur when AutoKey is first started, but
later it happens consistently.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The script should successfully get the selected text, but it gives an error
instead.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AutoKey 0.70.2 on Ubuntu Hardy.

Please provide any additional information below.
The strange thing is that having the AutoKey configuration window open
guarantees that the error will not happen, and the script will work just
fine.  The error is not entirely predictable when the window is closed, but
never happens when it is open.  If I have the problem and then open the
configuration window and try the hotkey again, the script will work fine,
and if I close it, the error behavior will immediately return.  If I keep
the configuration window open all day, the error never happens.

I think I have experienced this issue all along, but with the frequent
improvements to AutoKey's hotkey handling I had hoped it was just a glitch
that would get worked out in the course of things.

Here is the log from executing "Selection Test" from the "Sample Scripts"
folder.

DEBUG - iomediator - <alt> pressed
DEBUG - iomediator - <ctrl> pressed
DEBUG - service - Key: u't', modifiers: ['<alt>', '<ctrl>']
INFO - service - Matched hotkey phrase/script with prompt=False

in get_selection
    return self.text.decode("utf-8")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'decode'

If this is just due to Hardy having an older Xorg, then I can just leave
the configuration window open until I upgrade.

Configuration file backup is updated simultaneously with the configuration file.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Save any configuration change.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The backup file, autokey.json~ should be replaced with the previous
configuration file.
Instead it's replaced with the current file.  I guess the configuration is
saved twice each time.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
Previous versions (at least GTK 0.61.3) did not have this issue.

Saving unsaved changes doenst work

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Edit a phrase without saving it via the SAVE button
2. Navigate to another phrase
3. Press YES in the Unsaved-Changes dialog

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There is a dialog after jumping away from a changed phrase.
"There are unsaved changed. Would you like to save them. - No - Yes - Cancel"

I would expect YES to save the change - while it doenst save right now. Seems 
like the YES button isn't triggering any function at all.

.5x config file will not import properly.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Do a fresh, working, tested install of autokey-gtk via the the .deb file.
2. Go to .config/autokey/ and replace the autokey.bin with my .5x file.
3. Start autokey.
4. A file is created in the config folder (autokey.bin-0.5x).
5. The autokey.bin file grows to about the size of the original file and the 
drops to 0 bytes. Rinse 
and repeat. The program never starts up properly. If I clear the config files 
everything works fine 
except my 315k worth of abbreviations don't get imported.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect my old abbreviations to be usable, but they're not.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latest version (0.60.7a) on Ubuntu 9.10. Although I had an identical problem 
with another 0.6x 
version on 8.10 as well and have stayed with 0.5x as a result. Thought I'd give 
it another shot 
today.

Please provide any additional information below.

I have a pretty big abbreviations file. I wrote a custom script that parsed and 
extracted a very old 
Robotype for Windows config file (this program is like 15 years old) into 
Autokey 0.1 or 0.2 (can't 
remember which version I started with) but the config file had a very simple 
format so doing an 
import was easy. The newer files... not so much.

Preferences dialogue some times won't close when clicking OK.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Right click AutoKey panel Icon, select Configure
2. Edit → Preferences
3. Check ”Automatically start AutoKey at login” (if already checked, 
uncheck and check again, I think)
4. Click OK

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The dialogue should go away, it doesn't, unless I uncheck ”Automatically 
start AutoKey at login” again.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AutoKey 0.61.5 (GTK version) on Ubuntu 9.10.


Please provide any additional information below.
The reason I tried this in the first place was that Autokey didn't start 
at login, so I figuired that I could see what happens if I uncheck it and 
then check it again.
Adding AutoKey manually to the Gnome Session Properties thing works, 
however.

1. Edit a phrase
2. Without saving, click another phrase
3. A dialogue pops up asking if you want to save the curretn phrase first
4. Click ”Yes”

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The current phrase should be saved and I can start fiddling with the other 
phrase. Instead the current phrase is NOT saved, and I have to save it 
manually.

Wishlist: Show abbreviation settings in overview

It would be great if the configuration window showed the advanced settings of 
an abbreviation. For 
instance, if I set an abbreviation to trigger immediately, I would like to see 
“Abbreviation: osgi, 
immediate” or something like that instead of merely “Abbreviation: osgi”.

Rationale: You can see more easily which advanced settings are set for an 
abbreviation.

Cleared hotkeys show in column

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set a hotkey for a folder, phrase, or script, and save.
    (The hotkey appears in the treeview.)
2. Clear the hotkey, and save.
    (The hotkey remains in the treeview.)

No confimation dialog when deleting a script or phrase.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Open a script or phrase in AutoKey.
2.  Don't do this on a script you want to keep!: Press Control-D or select
the Delete menu item.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect a confirmation dialog box for deleting the item.
Or, I might (mistakenly) expect a line to be deleted in the script or phrase.

The script or phrase is immediately deleted.
The configuration file where it is stored is immediately updated for the
deletion.
On the latest version (0.70), even the hidden backup of the file is
immediately updated (an additional issue, I think).
There is no undo or other means of recovery.

Big memory leak

Using the latest subversion 0.70 I noticed that Autokey's memory footprint
was a massive 1.8gb and I've only got one phrase setup. I noticed it had
gone up from 256mb to this large number after I had had a few attempts at
using my phrase (which incidentally was pressing one letter followed by the
trigger and it would create the word I'd setup) and it wasn't working until
maybe the 4th or 5th attempt.
I don't think this is expected behaviour is it?

Unicode input not compatible with some software

When you have Unicode characters in a Phrase, the replacement doesn't 
always work as expected. For example, I have a Phrase replacing alpha,, 
with α.

*In gedit, this works perfectly.
*In Opera's address bar, it just inserts 03b1, the Unicode codepoint for 
the lowercase alpha symbol.
*In an Opera edit box, it removes the abbreviation and then opens the 
source viewer. This is caused presumably by it sending Ctrl+U to attempt 
to convert the "03b1" to the Unicode character. Ctrl+U is used by Opera to 
toggle source code viewing.

I'm using version 60.6, on Ubuntu Jaunty.

Original issue reported on code.google.com by [email protected] on 17 Jun 2010 at 11:39

Super key does not work for any hotkeys

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a new simple phrase in autokey
2. Set the hotkey to "Super" + x  (any letter key)
3. Save it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I'm expecting to output the phrase when my "Windows Key + x" is triggered,
but nothing happens.

If I change it to "Control + Alt + x" it will work. (More work than I'd
like though...)

However, I am using "Windows Key + t" in Gnome to open my terminal program.
In KDE I use "Input Actions" and have several combos with the winkey that
work fine.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Ubuntu 9.10 w/ Autokey 0.54.5-1 in Gnome


Please provide any additional information below.

Ubuntu PPA tries to add kde resources to gnome

I added the ubuntu ppa for karmic by adding ppa:cdekter/ppa, however it
doesn't get just the gtk packages but tries to install kde packages as well
(including the oxygen theme:) s there any way to differentiate between gtk
and kde ppa's?

Unable to add translation

It seems the software does not provide any localization features. Could you
please review your code and transfer all language strings to extra files,
so we can easily translate them?
If you gave me a hint, where to start, I would be willing to participate in
this task.

I am from Germany and I am moving a few elderly people to Linux, that need
a software like autokey, but do not understand English.

Autostart doesn't work any more (GTK version)

The autostart option doesn't work any more... an exception is raised during
execution of the event handler.

Feature Request: Allow user to define storage location

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)

AutoKey does not detect when the keymap is changed via soft-switch

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use setxkbmap to set multiple keymaps e.g. setxkbmap -layout us,is
2. Start AutoKey - current map works correctly
3. Switch maps using i18n tray icon

Expected: Change to secondary map is detected and AutoKey uses this to read
decode key events.
Actual: AutoKey continues to use the old map.

Is there any possibility to export/import or sync abbreviations ??

Hi Guys,

at first I just want to say "thank you" for this great software :-)

The only problem I have is; I want to synchronise my abbreviation between
my desktop and my laptop. It some previous version I used before there was
a file where the data was stored. I was able to copy this file to other
machine and I could use the same data on both computer. Now I'm not able to
find where it is stored. I suppose it is no stored in plain text any longer. 
Is there any possibility to synchronise these data?

Best Regards,
Radek Suski

Numeric keypad hotkeys no longer work

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Try using the numeric keypad to send a numeric hotkey.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The hotkey should activate the script or phrase, but does not.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AutoKey v0.70.2 on Ubuntu Hardy

Please provide any additional information below.
In earlier versions, the numeric keypad could be used for setting numeric
hotkeys, e.g. <alt>+<super>+1, and for sending them.  Now, when setting or
sending a hotkey, the numlock state is ignored, and keys like <np_end> are
recorded and detected instead.  So new hotkey settings will work, but
existing ones need to be reset to be used from the numeric keypad.

Version 0.70.1 did not have this issue.  It looks loke the change is in the
interface module in v0.70.2.

It's nice being able to detect the numeric keypad numbers distinctly from
the main keyboard numbers.  It provides additional unique hotkey
combinations.  But then I would rather also see it distinguish between the
numlock states, so there might be something like <np_1> vs. <np_end>.  For
one thing, it would make it recognizable as a feature rather than a bug.

A further improvement might be to add an option in Preferences for whether
the numeric keypad keys should be distinguished.  For example, <end> and
<np_end> or 1 and <np_1> could either be treated as distinct or as
interchangable.  That would allow for hotkey behavior consistent with
previous versions.

Can't select "Automatically Start Autokey at Login"

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open up preferences
2. Select automatically start autokey at login.
3. Hit ok

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?]
It should close the preferences window and save the changes. Instead, it
reverts to always leave that option unselected.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Autokey: 0.61.7
Gnome: 2.30.0

Glitch in assigning hotkeys in Gtk version

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Special Hotkeys
2. Clear one of the hotkeys.
3. Try to assign this hotkey again.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
AutoKey tells me that the hotkey is already assigned. This is wrong, as I have 
just cleared it. The 
workaround: Clear the hotkey, save the preferences, go to the preferences 
again, assign hotkey.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.60.7a, Gtk version
Linux Mint Gloria (based on Ubuntu 9.04)
