This is a bit weird. autokey-qt works fine with --version and not with --Version, but does require -V as a short option. May have something to do with --verbose also starting with a v. We need to rethink how this should work. is a first approximation for straightening this out.
--cutelog-integration is another one I've never seen before. Any idea what that's about? |

As for the capital V, I'm open to suggestions. Lots of commands have mixed case options where the lower and upper case letters are often totally different options, so it's no big deal to me. I'll have to check out the log viewer. |

Then getting rid of -l for verbose and doing the two v entries this way, as you suggested, would be the best solution:
At least the capital V would then make sense. |

Once we're sure how we want to do it, I'd be happy to make those changes on the develop branch. That would be my first commit to change the actual behavior of AutoKey. |

I did a bit of research and although it would be a bit odd to have two short command-line switches and one long one together, it's not forbidden, so that means we can deprecate -l while leaving it in place. I'll create an issue for this and then make the change for the next version of AutoKey. |

Linux Mint Cinnamon also works by the same rules.

@ineuw That code is completely internal to AutoKey, so it's independent of any distro. |

The single-character command-line switch that's used to display the AutoKey version in the autokey-gtk and autokey-qt man pages requires an upper-case V instead of a lower-case v. That's different from the other command-line switches (as can be seen in the code above and below the selection link to above) and seems to be counter-intuitive (at least for me). It would also be an easy fix.
Are there any negative consequences that would come from making that change or should I go ahead and create an issue for it and fix the issue?
