Unable to get keyboard macro programs to work. I tried Actiona and Autokey.
Autokey has 2 installable components, autokey-common_0.96.0_all and autokey-gtk_0.96.0_all.
They both seem to install OK, but when I try run Autokey, I get the error

Actiona installs and runs, but there's an error that x11 has not been detected.
I'm not married to either of these programs, just looking for something that will let me press, say, F12 for example, and have my name and address typed out.
Thanks all

I use autokey and it works perfectly.
However, Wayland is not compatible with macro software.
I recommend switching to Zorin on Xorg (X11) from your GDM3 login screen.

Wayland is activated by default in Zorin core pro. The message "X11 not detected" sounds as if you are using Wayland. You can change this to X11 (Xorg) when logging in with the gear icon (only klick on your user then it appears on the screen). This will then remain permanently until you change it again. These programs only work with x11.
