    How about a feature to automatically fill the last entered keyword to the input box? For example if I entered "ldap" last time, on next time the "ldap" text would be pre-filled when the input comes up, so I should not type it again if I need to access the same data but only need to hit enter. If the text would be selected (highlighted) then it wouldn't do any harm, you could start typing to overwrite the existing string.

    For me it would be beneficial as I would have to enter the same username/pass many times during the day (90% of the time I guess). It could be an optional setting though.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure I like it, and once you add something like that users will probably expect a history and the ability to manage or clear the history, which is complexity I certainly don't want to add.

    For your use-case of auto-typing the same entry many times during the day, have you considered the HotKeyEnabler plugin, which would allow you to assign a hotkey specifically to that entry?

    I see your concerns though if it would optional then history concerns could be eliminated (sort of). Anyway, the HotKeyEnabler plugin will do for me. Thanks for your time!
