Auto-Type - Missing Auto-Type code: {C:Comment} #5333

Description

@OLLI-S

I recognized a missing Auto-Type code: {C:Comment}

In the documentation of KeePass Auto-Type (https://keepass.info/help/base/autotype.html) this code is not listed, but Dominik Reichl sent me the information by mail when I suggested a new feature.

The problem is that some websites (like Amazon or PayPal) have two different login masks:

  • one where the username and the password is on one page
  • one where the username and the password are on two different pages

Amazon and PayPal display still use these two different types (depending where you come from when you access these sites).

So in KeePass I have for Amazon and PayPal two different Auto-Type sequences.
When I am at the Amazon website and press the Auto-Type hotkey, then in the "Auto-Type Entry Selection" dialog of KeePass I can not see the full Auto-Type sequence (to differentiate the two sequences).

KeePass allows to enter a comment in the Auto-Type sequence:
{USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}{C:Felder auf einer Seite}
{USERNAME}{TAB}{ENTER}{DELAY 2000}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}{C:Felder auf mehreren Seiten}
The comments mean "Fields on one page" and "Fields on multiple pages"

In the "Auto-Type Entry Selection" dialog the comments are shown when you have set to see the column "Sequence - Comments":
