Bug Description
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:
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.
