[PLUGIN]AutoTypeShow - Adds support for displaying the entry when auto-typed

[AlexVallat]

AutoType is mostly great, but sometimes it's just not enough. Occasionally there are logon credentials it can't enter, usually due to overzealous concerns about key-logging making you use a mouse to enter values. Or you might have to look up a number in a grid, or something similar. For these cases, what you need is to actually see the entry in KeePass, and that's what this plugin is for.

If you include the placeholder {SHOWENTRY} in your autotype sequence for an entry, then after the auto-typing is done, the KeePass window will be shown with the entry selected. This works particularly well if you also have KPEnhancedEntryView installed, but is useful even with the standard entry view.

As secondary functionality, I've also added the option to set up a global hotkey to trigger a show-only autotype, where it will act just like an ordinary autotype, except it won't actually type anything. It will just show the entry it would have autotyped. This can be useful for testing, or for when you want to change your password, for example.

Hi !
Somewhere you can see the FAQ or instructions with pictures or video on setting up and using this plugin?

[AlexVallat]

There's really nothing to set up... if there is an entry that you want to automatically show whenever you auto-type it, then put "{SHOWENTRY}" in the auto-type sequence for that entry.

If you want to use a hotkey to show any entry rather than auto-typing it, go to the KeePass Tools menu and choose "AutoTypeShow Options". There's only one option, and that's to set the hotkey you want to use.

Doesn't work with KeePass 2.41

[AlexVallat]

I've just released an updated v0.4 which is compatible with 2.41. It is no longer compatible with previous versions, so if you are using an older version of KeePass the last compatible version of AutoTypeShow is 0.3.1

AutoTypeShow v1.0 Released

KeePass 2.42 has breaking changes which mean a new version of AutoTypeShow is required. For versions of KeePass prior to 2.42, use an 0.X version.
