I just found this plugin and it works great for the most part. However there is one thing that bugs me. When I press the auto-type combo I get the "Auto-Type Entry Selection" dialog box first, and then I have to press cancel before the search box shows up. Is this the way it currently is supposed to be or am I missing some option in the settings? Would be great to have just the search box come up immediately. Is this something that could be added or is it not possible for technical reasons? Thanks for a great plugin anyway.
The search box will appear automatically if you perform an auto-type and there is no match. The Entry Selection box appears if there are multiple matches. If you cancel that selection box, it is assumed that none of the matches was correct, and so the search box is shown.
If you want to just show the search box regardless of whether there's a match for the current window then do not use the Auto Type hotkey, but instead go to Options, AutoTypeSearch and define a hotkey in the "Show when system-wide hot key is pressed". Then use that one when you want to just show the search box.
Well, the problem for me is that the entry selection box appears even when there are 0 matches. There are no entries in the dialog box and it says "0 entries found".
EDIT: I realize now that this of course has to do with the fact I have turned on the option "Always show global auto type entry selecftion dialog". Doy.

That's not something AutoTypeSearch does, are you sure it only happens if AutoTypeSearch is installed?
See my edit above. All should be well now. :)
Just have to adapt new settings for this new scenario with the AutoTypeSearch plugin is all.
Works great now. That was a bit of a stupid mistake on my part.
No worries, thanks for letting me know!
Thanks, I had the same issue. The option "Always show global auto type entry selection dialog" is under the "Auto-Type" section in the Advanced tab of Keepass settings. And unchecking that solved it.
