The situation is absolutely the same in 12.10 with Unity and it begs the 
question — are bug fixing and maintenance still planned for Autokey?

Currently core functionality is broken and things are likely to get even worse 
in 13.04. I can help by reporting bugs I have found to exist in latest Ubuntu 
releases and providing logs, but I would not mind to see some indication from 
developer that Autokey have not been deprecated and said issues will be fixed 
at some point in the future.

First of all, I rank autokey my #1 favorite linux application (I'm not kidding).

With that said, autokey-gtk and autokey-qt are broken in Ubuntu 13.10:

Please help (the release is later this month), I won't upgrade from 13.04 to 
13.10 without Autokey working. It is that important to me.

The lack of a text expansion program (like Autokey) has driven me back to 
Windows. I dread having to type signatures, email addresses, account numbers, 
passwords and other repetitive data over and over again. I'm not a speed typist 
but even if I were, there should be at least one decent text expansion program 
out there for Linux. Autokey is, for all practical purposes, abandoned. Pity, 
such a fine piece of software up to Ubuntu 12.04.

Windows?
Textexpander for Mac is the best.
Pity Linux doesn't have an equivalent. That is what made me move to Mac.

Software abandonment is an issue in the FOSS ecosystem, but it is nevertheless 
strange to me when one migrates the whole system due to failure of one utility.

Have either of you tried GXneur? It has some text-expansion capability and 
there are other CLI-based tools as well out there, like Snippits.
