Overview

Auto-Type via keyboard shortcut does not work in 2.7.0 on macOS when 'Always ask before performing Auto-Type' is deselected. The workaround is to select Perform Auto-Type from the menu or from the right-click dialog.

Steps to Reproduce

1. (Following a clean install of KeePassXC)
2. Uncheck 'Always ask before performing Auto-Type' in Settings -> Auto-Type
3. Try to enact Auto-Type sequence by pressing the keyboard shortcut (in this case shift-cmd-v)

Expected Behavior

The Auto-Type sequence is performed

Actual Behavior

The Auto-Type sequence is not performed

Context

For confirmation of the problem, the test was performed on a clean install of KeePassXC

This is most likely the same problem corrected by this PR: #7588

Will be in 2.7.1

Confirmed. Many thanks, @droidmonkey, for all your work on this project.

When can we expect a release of this? This is a major usability issue that I am facing everyday after upgrade. Only work around I see work is by right clicking on the entry and selecting auto type.

Having that confirmation of auto type is more like a work around only for web pages but for desktop apps like rambox, its not working. Only right click and selecting auto type is the only option working.

This weekend. Nothing stopping you from redownloading 2.6.6 and using that in the interim. You can also download a snapshot at https://snapshot.keepassxc.org
