Re: [Vimprobable-users] [patch] to escape auto focused inputs on page load

[Matthew C. <je...@gm...>]

Hello all,

My best patch set to date.

These two patches do the following:

Add toggleable option:

set escapeinput=[true|false]

With true (default) the following new behavior happens:

Any auto-focused inputs are immediately escaped on page load (done
inside main.c so it no longer relies on a javascript call).

With false the new behavior above is ignored.

In both modes, vimprobable2 will now correctly see focused fields 
and change to "insert mode" so you can type in the highlighted field 
(finally no more being stuck in an insert box without being in "insert
mode").

This also works with any unique website features which put the user into an
input box (such as duckduckgo.com's bang syntax box to the right of main
search bar) and will properly convert to "insert mode".

Lastly,

I set the default search engine to duckduckgo (also changed default
command bar color to a darker theme).

Hannes, hopefully this saved you some work.  With these changes I have
hopefully resolved some annoyances of vimprobable2 for all.

Next up I want to add password saving (possibly just unsecure/plaintext).  
Has this been done in the past and discarded due to fattening up the code?

Also how do I get my name added to LICENSE? :)

Thanks,
-Matthew Carter
