AutoKey is a text expansion/replacement utility for Linux and X11.[1] It is heavily inspired by the commercial Windows software 'PhraseExpress'.[2] It receives keyboard events using one of several methods and uses X events to drive the expansions.[3] AutoKey can be used to replace abbreviations with full phrases, and also to correct spelling mistakes and other typographical errors.[1] AutoKey is known to operate under both the GNOME and KDE desktop environments.
