Public bug reported:
As you know, you can associate abbreviations to phrases in Autokey-GTK,
so that while you are typing (anywhere), by typing the abbreviation,
Autokey-GTK will replace that abbreviation with a longer phrase that
would be more time-consuming to type outright.
The GUI for associating an abbreviation with a phrase is slightly
unintuitive. For example, follow these steps.
1) Go to one of the sample phrases that comes with Autokey-GTK.
2) In the right-pane, see "Abbreviations:(None configured)" and click the "Set"
button (to the right).
3) Click the "Add" button and type ";test" (no quotes), and do not press
<enter>.
4) Immediately click the "OK" button.
Unfortunately, your abbreviation will not be added, because you didn't
press the enter key at the end of step 3.
This usability-bug-report is suggesting that this additional step of
having to press enter (at the end of step 3) is unintuitive and should
not be explicitly required; pressing the "OK" button alone should
suffice. Otherwise, the user becomes confused thinking that Autokey
isn't saving the abbreviations they're adding.
