ImmaculateKresnik's Experience
Since the original developer abandoned the project has been held together by folks looking for a programmer to resurrect the project. Roughly two months ago I tried the all new autokey. At first it seemed to work well on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine, but then I noticed that after using autokey between 5 to 7 times my system would totally crash. Each time a hard reboot was required and the system complained about innodes and orphans. So now I use a very simple bash script that automatically inserts the few phrases I use on a daily bases. You can find script by searching, I believe, text expantion on the Ubuntu forums. (by the way my machine has not crashed since getting rid of autokey.)
