Subject: [bug#53222] [PATCH] gnu: Add autokey.

Hello,

Here is a patch for autokey, a python based program for things like keyboard shortcuts and text expansion. I find it invaluable for having emacs-like keys everywhere.

It includes both a gtk and qt frontend; after discussion on IRC I decided against trying to split them. Since it is one package and it is built together, it is a bit tricky I think to disentangle the code and paths needed for each. In my first attempts it didn't reduce the closure and needed a lot of manual work. Possibly it could work with more effort, but since this is used as a GUI tool primarily, the GTK/QT packages shouldn't be adding anything new.

John
