Abbreviations not really saved about autokey-python2 HOT 3 CLOSED

We've had several issues recently which involve dbus error messages (but not this particular one). The underlying cause has not been determined yet.

First, let's eliminate the obvious.

After you added a new phrase, did you click on the Save button?

What do you mean by "shown equally"?

Did you check for directory/file permission problems? (probably OK, but let's be sure.)

By default, AutoKey stores phrases in $HOME/.config/autokey/data/My Phrases. Each phrase will have two files, phrase_name.txt and .phrase_name.json (hidden because its name starts with a dot). Your user should own and have 775 permissions for all directories in this path and 664 permissions for all the macro and phrase definition files.

As far as manually editing json files, that shouldn't be necessary. If you create (in any way) a pair of files (name.txt and .name.json) as described above) for a new phrase and save them in the My Phrases directory, AutoKey will find them automatically the next time it starts (if not sooner) and make them available.

Hi Joe!

Thanks for your hints. Now it works again ;-)

Short additional question because I can't find it: with which command can I
open a certain site (for example google.com) in the browser and switch to
it ?

best regards
Bernhard

Do you know what you did which eliminated the issue for you?

Your new question is not an AutoKey "issue", so it would be better to discuss it on our support list

Briefly, Python has system commands for running any command from within a script. They could be used to start your browser. The issues beyond that would be to figure out if it was already running, to find the window (and, possibly, the correct tab), and switch to it. All doable in Python, I'm sure, but beyond what I know how to do.
