Allow to select entry if window not found on auto-type #429

@azrdev

Description

@azrdev

This is a feature request.

Expected Behavior

  1. Select a window for which no auto-type is configured
  2. Press the global auto-type shortcut
  3. (optionally: unlock your database)
  4. Select an entry in your database to be auto-typed

Current Behavior

instead of 4. there is a warning message like "could not find an entry with matching window title", which can only be dismissed with "OK".

Possible Solutions

  • open the main window, to select an entry. however, if selecting would instantly auto-type, this could be unexpected to the user (especially if the window doesn't differ at all from the normal window)
  • open a dialog with the entry-tree. this could get huge & messy, though
  • open a search/filter box, displaying matching entries as you type in a dropdown list. So you'd e.g. type git, which displays entries for github and gitlab, then use the arrow keys to select the one you want, then press enter to select & auto-type it.

Your Environment

  • KeePassXC version/commit used: 2.1.2 b9279f7 from packages
  • Qt version 5.8.0
  • Operating System and version: archlinux
