Can't get interactive window to come up #91

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start autokey-gtk
2.
3.

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

Expect window to pop up. Nothing happens. (actually it happened once, and I 
wrote a script that didn't work but we'll let that slide).  There is an 
"autokey" process in the system monitor, however. I tried doing a "complete 
uninstall" (via Synaptic Package Mgr) and then install 3x. Interestingly even 
though I did a "complete uninstall", the script that I wrote is still there 
(when I try to run with the -l option it I can see it in the debugging text).

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

I don't know what version -- can't get to the Help-About page (for obvious 
reasons).  I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

Please provide any additional information below.

One thing I did which I probably shouldn't have done was I turned off the 
Ctrl-K hotkey -- I have that defined as something else in another program. 

Thanks!

Sussed it. I used the man. Sorry about that. I'm a brand-new Ubuntu user (this 
is my first week) and I'm making all kind of mistakes.

Okay now a new problem. Should I start a new thread? I want to create scripts 
to turn abbreviations into special characters and European letters with 
diacritical marks, etc. For instance ä. But when I wrote my script to 
keyboard.send_keys("ä"), in gedit what gets returned is "ä", but in parachat 
I get "00e4" and a carriage return. I can, however, create the ä character 
using Ubuntu's built-in hotkey system (press the hotkey (I mapped it to the 
otherwise-worthless Windows key) then " then a). Is this a hopeless case, 
parachat too primitive?

That is a shortcoming of the older version of AutoKey that you are using. You 
can upgrade to the latest version from the PPA (link on home page, instructions 
are on the PPA page). Also, the bug tracker is not the place to get help, there 
is a link to the users group on the home page.
