AutoKey

Hi. I use AutoKey extensively in my work. Can someone please check and see if this application, a keyboard expansion program, is in the repositories, before I install FreeBSD? Thanks!
 
Doing a make -C /usr/ports search name=autokey reveals that this application is apparently not currently in the ports tree. However, since it's written in Python, it's probably possible to port it to FreeBSD.
 
Which AutoKey do you mean? A search indicates several. There is a Python-based one which appears to not have been ported yet. It can still be installed, and Python's pip can be used. We encourage people to create ports of the software they use because it benefits others, and there is an active Python on FreeBSD community that can help.
 
Thanks. I'm completely green when it comes to porting -- I'm not clear how to do any of that. Is there some possibility that someone can port it and add it to the repositories? And as far as several AutoKeys, I think there is a GTK-based and a Qt-based application. At least these are the ones that show up in the Debian repositories. And there is a PPA for AutoKey, although I have no idea whether this is relevant in FreeBSD. I hope I can perhaps convince someone to take this on for this completely green fellow. Thanks.
