#KEEPASSX MAC AUTOTYPE HOW TO#
Third, I tried to be more thorough about how to set a Global Auto-Type shortcut:įor this example, let’s say we want to set our Global Auto-Type shortcut to Control + Option + v. (More info on writing these custom sequences.) Finally, we’ll click the “Use custom Auto-Type sequence” radio button and write a custom Auto-Type sequence. Next, we’ll look in the menu of large icons on the left side of the window and click on the Auto-Type section of the menu (you may have to scroll down a little). To edit the Auto-Type sequence for a single entry, we'll first choose to edit the entry- we can do this by clicking on the entry we want to edit and then clicking button with the key and blue pen icon. I also expanded the paragraph about setting a custom Auto-Type for a single entry: KeePassXC will type your username, hit tab, type your password, and then hit enter. Then, over in KeePassXC, right-click the entry you want to Auto-Type and select “Perform Auto-Type”. To invoke Auto-Type, start with your cursor in the username field of the browser form you want to sign in to. Please let me know if I can improve further on them!įirst off, I changed that first paragraph you quoted to be more explicit (always a good thing!): I just now got around to taking a stab at a clarifying edit. Thank you so so much for these notes- very helpful. Lastly, I cannot fill in the "global auto-type shortcut." The field simply does not allow me to place the cursor in it, and I have no clue how to make it work. So I recommend emphasizing that the function is on the left. I kept trying to do this through the drop down menu on top - "global auto-type shortcut," which is not the same thing.
I was still stuck even with your guide, until I realized that the "auto-type section of the menu" appeared on the left. This is what had me stumped for over half an hour, and why I finally found your guide. Just edit the entry by clicking the button with the key and blue pen icon, navigate to the Auto-Type section of the menu, and write a custom Auto-Type sequence So for a complete newcomer this is confusing. I tried both, didn't seem to make a difference, because I still had to click in the username first. Your graphic shows this sequence, text does not.Īlso not sure why your example changed from to /login. I found that first I had to click inside the username field in the browser, then go back to keepass and click auto-fill or ctrl+v.
To invoke Auto-Type, move focus from your browser to KeePassXC, then right-click the entry you want to Auto-Type and click “Perform Auto-Type”. This is all new to me glad to have found your guide to get me started.
