Global Hotkey for 'Add new entry' / Automatically Expand 'Password Generator' #935

Closed unimpededglare closed 4 years ago

unimpededglare commented 7 years ago

Expected Behavior

When pressing a certain global hotkey (which would be configurable in the options), the 'Add new entry' dialog box should popup. When the dialog box pops up, the password generator should already be expanded and ready to go.

Current Behavior

Currently if you want to add a new entry (without using a browser plugin), you have to manually open KeePassXC, then open the 'Add new entry' dialog, and then click the password generator button.

Context

This would make it a bit simpler to create new entries for new accounts on websites (or elsewhere). The quicker/easier a password manager is, the more likely people will use it.

Currently adding global hotkey is very painful. I plan to fix that in the future

:+1: Coming from KeePass, global hotkeys are one of the things I miss most. Being able to summon the unlock prompt from the system tray without taking my hands off the keyboard is a really nice productivity booster.
