    KeePass 2.x Global Hotkey Autotype Issue

    So from everything I can read it appears that the autotype should work with keepass (not keepassX) on ubuntu.

    I have KeePass 2.12 up and working (with Mono 2.6.7).

    I've installed the libmono-winforms2.0-cli and other things you are supposed to.

    I CAN get it to pseudo-autotype by right-clicking on and entry IN the KeePass program and then telling it to "Perform Autotype".

    If the last open page was what I want to login to, it will work.

    But I can NOT get it to perform autotype with ctrl+alt+A while in the browser window (firefox or chrome).

    Also when going to the auto-type interface settings page in KeePass options everything is locked.

    Is there really a way to get KeePass to work with autotype? I would really like it to.

    thanks

    Haven't used keepass but
    in keepassx you have to select autotype window. pic1
    and
    set
    "use entries title to match the window for Global Auto-type" pic2

    Why use keepass instead of keepassx?

    Keepassx doesn't have the same plugins as keepass, some of which I find pretty useful.

    Keepass also has a way to keep databases automatically syncronized between computers which is pretty nice.

    But, I guess for now its back to keepassx

    This is the page that explains it:

    http://keepass.info/help/v2/setup.html

    Scroll down to the "Global Auto-type" section.

    FYI Keepass 2 is now packaged in Ubuntu - keepass2
