I'm in the process of switching to the Dvorak keyboard layout, and I'd like to reassign the common shortcuts so they remain where they were. It seems that Autokey has worked for a lot of people, but I haven't had any luck. I have tested the sample scripts that come with Autokey and they work just fine, so it's definitely a problem with my script.

Here's what I've done: created a top level folder, created a script underneath it, typed:

keyboard.send_keys("<ctrl>+c")

Assigned ctrl+j as the hotkey:

then switched to the Dvorak keyboard layout and tried copying. Autokey ignores Dvorak - ctrl+j does work, but it's the QWERTY J, not the Dvorak J.

Any ideas/suggestions very welcome.

Found the answer! In the keyboard layout handler I had QWERTY first in the list of keyboard layouts. When I put Dvorak first, Autokey worked properly.
