Re: Autotype prompts

I would be against adding more buttons to the Edit dialog.  There is no room
and it would make the dialog very cluttered for little benefit.

The reason for the "Unknown Fields" is to warn the user that they have
opened a database with an older version of Password Safe which doesn't know
about some fields.  For example, versions prior to 3.17 would not know how
to deal or display the new Run Command field.  They would maintain it
unmodified but cannot display what they don't know.

I suppose the tooltip could be expanded to show these, but as Karlo
indicated, there are quite a few.

Hi,

Nice idea.

These are all possible values for the autotype
  \u is replaced by the username associated with the entry.
  \p is replaced by the password associated with the entry.
  \g is replaced by the group associated with the entry.
  \i is replaced by the title associated with the entry.
  \o is replaced by the contents of the (possibly multilined) Notes field.
  \r end of line character
  \oNNN is replaced by the contents of the n.th line of the Notes field
  \b is replaced by the backspace key.
  \t is replaced by the Tab key, in effect skipping a field.
  \n is replaced by the enter key, in effect pressing a button.
  \\ is replaced by the backslash (\) key.
  \dNNN sets the delay between characters to NNN milliseconds, 10 is default

These are 12 possibilities in total.
Do we need them all?

To the right of the edit field for autotype there is a (normally hidden)
field "Number of unknown fields:", so we would have to put those (max.) 12
buttons somewhere else (below the autotype edit field?)

In the manage => options => misc menu there is also the default autotyope
field!

Kind regards
Karlo

I can never remember the cryptic sequences for autotype strings. How 
about putting GTUPNB buttons alongside the autotype field so you can 
click them to insert \u etc into the string (and extra ones for TAB, 
time delay etc, the last of which would pop up a box asking for delay 
time in milliseconds, similarly for \oNNN).
