Adding configurable shortcuts to avoid "View/Type individual entries"

[Purtl]

Heyho,
what do you think about the following "scenario":

• opening keepmenu
• highlighting the intended entry
• using a some kind to only type the password/Note/name/whatever of the chosen entry.

with an entry in the config like:
[shortcuts]
password:
title:
username:
url:
...

At the moment that is (correct me if i'm wrong) only possible by:

• opening keepmenu
• highlighting "View/Type individual entries"
• enter
• highgliht intended entry
• enter
• highlight field
• enter

That already exists 😄 Look at the Auto Type sequences in the docs. If you always only want to type the password without the username or hitting enter and nothing else, edit the entry, select Autotype and enter {PASSWORD}.

Does that match what you're looking for?

I guess the biggest part of the request here is shortcuts, so with different shortcuts you could have different autotype sequences.

I think I see what you're saying. I'll have to think about if that's something I want to pursue.

In the meantime, you could possibly work around that using the -a flag to keepmenu. For example, you can have one keyboard shortcut that calls keepmenu like normal, and a second shortcut that calls keepmenu -a '{TOTP}' to only type the TOTP values.

[vaygr]

Yeah, exactly. TOTP is a special case though. If I have 800 entries and TOTP ones are only 50 of them, it makes little sense to output all for filtering using dmenu. That's why I came up with #132.

So you'd basically have to create "temporary" duplicate entries with the different autotype values when generating the list to display to dmenu. I'm thinking that could work similar to how I have done the multiple URLs feature. That way the configuration file stays simple and only the autotype entries would need to be edited.

[vaygr]

Precisely. So keepmenu has to be smart to see if there's only {TOTP} in autotype, generate the list only of those entries that contain it.

Hi, I'm having a problem with keepmeun opening very slowly when I run it with the -a or -C parameter, is this normal?

[firecat53]

Definitely not normal. Make sure all keepmenu processes are killed and test wl-copy and wl-paste on the command line. With no other reports and being unable to replicate, I'm going to suspect an issue with your system. If you continue to have trouble, open a new issue please, as it's not relevant to this one. Thanks!
