    Also, https://github.com/autokey/autokey-python2/wiki/Problem-Reporting-Guide describes how to run an AutoKey trace. This is very useful any time AutoKey is not behaving as desired and staring at your script doesn't reveal the reason. We also often need a trace when trying to analyse an issue. You don't need it in this case, but it's good to know that it's there.
