Enhancement - Don't require <enter> key-press When Saving Abbreviations

[Lonnie Lee Best]

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.
