Autotype is not working in some cases

[Steffen Bischoff]

Hi,

I'm looking for some help on an issue with the Auto Typing Feature. I'm using a complex password and it looks like that the Auto Type feature is to fast with the input. If you look carefully, you can see, that the cursor jumps around during Auto Type.

Please see my Screencast attached.

Any idea what I can do to solve this behaviour?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Steffen

You can add inter-character delays in Auto-Type.
Place this at the beginning of the Auto-Type: {DELAY=50}

Thanks, Paul.

But it doesn't work with the Delay neither. Even if I change it to {DELAY=100}.

It looks like Auto-Type has some problems with some characters in my password. I guess it might be """ (quotation mark) or "\" (backslash)

Cheers,
Steffen

Test the Auto-Type in Notepad.

Open Notepad.
Bring up KeePass.
Right click on the offending entry.
Select Perform Auto-Type.

KeePass will drop to the background and type into Notepad.

Thanks, Paul, that brought me to the solution. ;)

The problem was related to Phrase Express. I have a phrase, that double quotes are written when I type a quotation mark. :D :D

Cheers,

A fix for PhraseExpress is in the Help pages.
