Oh, no problem at all. It's a wonderful piece of software. If you
haven't tried it, you should.

Thank you for the explanation. I've always wondered what the ubuntu1
part was about and I noticed that most of the releases in the links I
had originally sent to you didn't use it.

Oh, so nice. The stars must be aligned tonight.

Excellent. I bookmarked that page and took a look. I can see that
it's already proposed, so the gears are turning. You've managed to
move mountains in an instant.

Now that it's proposed, it should be accepted within one or two days?

Yes, thank you so very much, Robie. You're an AutoKey hero.
