#1817 Add AutoType only the password

The AutoType feature currently is pretty amazing, and the fact that it also works in Linux is a deal-maker for me!

However, it would also be useful to have it type only the password. This could be a second form of AutoType, in addition to the current one. That would be useful for things like SSH-agent key registration, or in general, password typing in a console/shell window.

Thanks!

    There are several way to accomplish this using the global auto-type hot key:

    1. Create a custom auto-type sequence in a KeePass entry. Edit the entry then select the auto-type tab. Press the Add button and define the Target window and custom keystroke sequence. OR
    2. Override an entry's default auto-type sequence. Edit the entry then select the auto-type tab. Select "Override default sequence" and define the custom keystroke sequence. OR
    3. Edit the group's default auto-type sequence. Right click on the group and select Edit Group. Select the auto-type tab then select "Override default sequence" and define the custom keystroke sequence.

    If you use the Perform auto-type (Ctrl-V) then a variant of the above should work. e.g. create duplicate entries using field references. Then either modify the default auto-type sequences on a per-entry basis as in 2 above; or save the entries in groups with a password only default auto-type sequences in 3 above.

    Ah, I see, that's actually a lot more advanced than this that I'm requesting, and it's already implemented! Thanks for the pointers! I think this ticket can be closed, I just couldn't find a way to do it myself.
