[Feature]: add 'Autofill password' to terminal toolbar

Open siccovansas opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

Feature description

I have to enter passwords quite often and use the 'Autofill password' option to summon my password manager. It currently takes 3 steps to do this:

  • long press the terminal
  • tap 'More...'
  • tap 'Autofill password'

Would it be possible to make the terminal toolbar configurable to allow people to add an 'Autofill password' button to it (maybe just a small button with a key/🔑 icon)? This would make password input a lot faster :).

Additionally, I would only like to autofill passwords on explicit request, and never have the OS automatically suggest doing so in Termux.

@agnostic-apollo I think we can make something like "PASS" keyword for ExtraKeys to trigger password autofilling, can't we? Like it is done for "PASTE" and "DRAWER"?

Should be doable

Hi @tutacat, that pull request talks about the context menu (if I understand it correctly). I'm indeed currently using the context menu to autofill passwords. In this issue I'm asking for an easier solution, because using the context menu takes 3 steps and my proposed solution would take 1 step to autofill passwords. Any other solutions which take less than 3 steps are welcome as well (e.g. if 'Autofill password' is directly shown after long pressing the terminal, instead of having to click 'More...' first; this would make it 2 steps).
