once.
So add:
super(GlobalPlugin, self).__init__() to the top of the method.
PL] Is this true for all global plugins? If yes, then we need to update the
developer guide. Shall I raise a ticket?
Yep. This is good practice in Python when subclassing anything.
globalPluginHandler.GlobalPlugin inherits from
baseObject.ScriptableObject, which has its own __init__ method which, as
Tyler mentioned, can make or break your keyboard functionality. Without
a call to super(), this method won't be ran.
