does not activate when the curser is in the password field #13

I'm not sure if this is by design but it does activate when the macos autofill drop down menu is showing but the curser is in the username field.

Scratch that, it looks like it does not activate when the curser is in the password field and it has nothing to do with the macos autofill

I have tried this in Firefox and Safari.

by design macOS doesn't send key presses to event wiretaps when in Secure Input fields: https://smile.helpscoutdocs.com/article/402-textexpander-and-secure-input

that being said, you can activate Alfred. so there's definitely a way. but i'm afraid that means i need to completely change my event wiretapping system... (kV has the same issue). so, that definitely goes to the todos, but not for a3.

i'm building the third app, to handle scrolls, and i'm having a look at other ways to track events. i think there's a way to make this work for Wooshy too, but i have to check a lot of things, like that it doesn't break integration with Hammerspoon, Hyperkey etc. so just curious: how much is this an issue? does it happen that you're finding yourself having this issue often?

ok so now Wooshy can be activated on password fields, and you can search your term, but you can't press enter 😂️
