Description Jargon Scott 2018-04-16 00:32:46 UTC
The versions of the "autokey" utility shipped with Fedora 27 are not up-to-date.

These versions no longer work out-of-the-box on a standard Fedora 27 installation.  Please start building the current releases of "autokey", which *do* work without compromise, and which are available at the new site of the upstream project.

A critical reason for using this package is its ability to execute a script and to simulate keystrokes in the user's GUI.  The out-of-date version currently packaged for Fedora 27 supports neither Wayland nor Python 3 scripts-- its usefulness is severely hindered on Fedora 27.

The old versions still shipped with Fedora (listed below) are tracking an abandoned upstream project whose last commit dates to 2012:

autokey-common-0:0.90.4-11.fc27.noarch
autokey-gtk-0:0.90.4-11.fc27.noarch
autokey-qt-0:0.90.4-11.fc27.noarch

This project has moved to GitHub, where the current version, 0.94.0, is usable:
