Per some suggestions on here and lifehacker, I began using autokey.
It worked great for a week, but as of today it now
-
hangs when I try to enter name new phrases.
-
usually won't close when I push the 'x' in my window manger
and
- no longer responds to my abbreviation phrases.
I've added a few phrases and rebooted since my last successful attempt at using it.
Another user reported a similar problem for the gtk version of autokey.
The results of running it from the command line seems to show some exception errors:
Exception in thread KeypressHandler-thread:

Any help would be appreciated.
