~~However, there's a runtime issue with cloning an item that I recommend handling. I don't see an open issue with it, but a cloned object should be renamed so that it does not overwrite the original object (because it has the same name). The bug arises because each "page" uses a text buffer to identify items.~~

~~The simplest solution would be to increment the file's name with a number (as convention with other applications) immediately after this line: https://github.com/autokey/autokey/blob/develop/lib/autokey/gtkui/configwindow.py#L1194~~

~~I could open a second PR to fix the issue or I can include it in my current PR. Please advise.~~

It already does this on the back end/file system portion tho no? When I clone an item the newer item has the same name in the autokey window but has a 1 appended to the end of the file names;

Aha, the other part needs to be updated as well

I've updated the commit to include the config window to update its selected item, so the new cloned item is the one you are editing.
