Keyboard Shortcut? #1

Closed mehrdd closed 1 year ago

mehrdd commented 3 years ago

Hi, i wanted to say thank you! I have lots of passphrases which i'm using in very specific environments (like VM in a browser tab in another VM via RDP) and the only way is typing the damn 32 complicated chars passphrases each time! It's working great.

Just one note.. is there anyway we could use a keyboard shortcut and not pointing mouse and click on the target screen? i mean i'm already focused on the target window, so i can use a shortcut just to type the text.

Regards Mehrdad

Cool idea. I know it's possible to hook keyboard shortcuts, but my assumption was that it wouldn't help-- In other words, for many cases where you need to do this, you'll be in some weird VM that steals all the hotkeys anyway. But it might still be worth trying.

Adding a hotkey would be useful to streamline my processes. I use this for when I'm calculating a number of data fields in excel then pasting them into web forms (if the data copied from excel is in a row and each data entry is in a column, each column is translated as a tab key)

If I get time, I'll try and fork and add my own "wish list" of additions.

or maybe just add a hotkey to activate program like you would by clicking the tray icon. would speed the workload by a big margin if you don't have to activate it from the tray every time
