Hi,
If I haven't updated my own guide, I'll do so (note that this also applies to
app module constructor as well).
Cheers,
Joseph

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.
