Browser: Cycle logins when using autofill shortcut multiple times

[drzero42]

I am trying out Bitwarden as an alternative to Lastpass in Firefox 57 on Linux (addon version 1.20.1). According to https://help.bitwarden.com/article/auto-fill-browser/ I can use Ctrl+Shift+L to trigger autofill. This works, but if I have multiple accounts on the site, it will only fill in the first account from the vault. I would expect to be able to just push Ctrl+Shift+L again to go to the next account.
Next up, the article says I can use Ctrl+Shift+Y to open the vault. However, this just opens my list of downloads. Also, somewhere I read that Ctrl+Shift+O can be used to generate passwords, but this opens my "other bookmarks".

Try Ctrl+Shift+U on Linux.

Thanks, Ctrl+Shift+U works to open the vault. Maybe that should be documented? :)
Still missing the other things I mentioned.

I do not see a way to cycle through logins with shortcuts given the limitations of the web extensions API.

Updated docs for next help site release.

@kspearrin I'm not a webextension developer, but can't the function triggered by the keyboard press either keep a sort of state of what account was filled in, or look in the fields for what is already filled in, and check which account it matches, and then fill in the next on the list?

Great about the docs :)

How about a keyboard shortcut for "generate password" that works on Linux? :)

Ctrl + Shift + 9

This doesnt work on Firefox due to their web extension API limitations of not allowing access to clipbaord outside of the popup.

Ctrl + Shift + 9 does not work for me on Firefox 57 / Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit.

I just checked, and with the Lastpass web extension, I can use Alt+Page Down to fill in a login form and then press it again to fill in the next account instead. This way I can cycle through all accounts I have for a site until I get the one I want. So this CAN be done, even with the limitations of the web extensions API :)

Yea, that might be doable now that I think about it a bit more.

As a further enhancement to this keyboard auto fill cycling, I suggest that upon autofill, a toast message should appear indicating the name of the login filled.

Reason? I have several banking accounts whose usernames are just cryptic numbers. If I keyboard cycle through them I'd want to see a notification like "HSBC (Personal)", "HSBC (Work)", etc...otherwise I wouldn't know which login was which.

Any ETA of when this could come? I think this feature would be fantastic. I don't know JS or else I would help out myself.

[kspearrin]

No ETA since it is not planned yet.

Ctrl+shift+l to cycle Chrome logins would be very useful.
