Stops working frequently
Several times a day xkeysnail seems to stop working... whereupon I'll kill it and restart it. I haven't done a lot of investigation on what might cause it.... but is this just me, or do other people experience this? I'm using Ubuntu 21.04 and often use both a dock and a KVM switch, but that doesn't seem to be the cause.
No, there are two problems I've identified with Xkey, both during opening it. If you have the same problem, try follow my PR, in this issue you can find it: #125
Exception ignored in: <function InputDevice.__del__ at 0x7faabe96c700>
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: sys.meta_path is None, Python is likely shutting down
FYI:
I had a problem of "Stuck control key" #68. Once I removed the setting define_conditional_modmap
, I was able to avoid that problem.
How is your config? I've never used this option, is there any PR fixing?

If this error is happening to you, this custom script of mine may solve it, it reinstalls xkeysnail with its dependencies, some packages are not directly connected to Xkeysnail and can be removed from the script.
I believe that installing xkeysnail can be done in a virtualenv, maybe it will resolve permanently if it is not updated.

I haven't done a lot of investigation on what might cause it..
A log or crash report would help here... unless you can provide that not really much we can do to help since no one else seems to be running into this issue...
