Username override

[ejiektpobehuk]

Right now tessen assumes that username should be taken from a filename. And that's it. It's fine but should not be the only option.

It would be nice to use user or username key to override a filename. Since it's explicitly specified, a user should be quite certain, that it should be used over a filename.

This should already be the case. If a user: your-username is present inside a file, it should show up in the menu. It shouldn't be username: your-username though, because tessen assumes username from the filename.

Exactly my point. They are treated like different entities and only one of them is used for the autotype.

Better behaviour is to look for a user key in a file first. Fallback to a filename only when it's not found.

Ah, understood.

So you want autotype to use the username from the file if the user or username key is present inside of it instead of assuming username as the file name, right?

Hmm, makes sense. I'll probably add this functionality since rofi-pass behaves the same way and some people would've chosen to write their usernames inside the file rather than in the filename itself.

Thanks for reporting this.

I've added a feature to use custom username key and prefer that instead of the filename if it's present. If a username key isn't present, tessen should fallback to using the basename of the selected file.

Please read the README or the man page for more details. Let me know if anything doesn't work as expected.
