Chain macros from one website/chrome-element to another #66

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Please describe the requested feature in detail...

Chain macros from one website/chrome-element to another.  Escape
temporarily from CYW to use eg. a form-filler to supply text.

Example:

I'm using openid to log into freshmeat.net.  For this I need to type in
my (long) openid URL into a form.  For CYW it doesn't matter where that
text comes from, it may come from the clipboard, but also from some
form-filler.  I see no convenient way to drop out of CYW, get that text
from somewhere, enter CYW again and use it.  If I "save" the macro
I have accumulated so far, get the text, how do I put it into a "modify"
action after getting into "edit-mode" again?  Besides using a form
filler or some text database, copy into clipboard and paste from there
into CYW?

This example is about a simple text form field, but can CYW be made to
capture clicks into chrome-elements, even when coming from other
extensions?  I know this could lead to problems when users reconfigure
extensions to show certain elements or hide them, but that would be
their fault and might be handled by a popup "no matching element for
action: <description of wanted>".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

"Customize Your Web" 0.4.2.4,
'uname -rms' -> Linux 2.6.35.7-spott i686
