Keepassxc: Global autotype shortcut doesn't use current keyboard layout

[l0f4r0]

Hi,

I cannot succeed in making autotype feature working on my Mac.
Maybe it's not the best appropriate place to mention it (except if it is a bug indeed) but I didn't get any response both times on the IRC chat so I'm trying on GitHub.
I mention that I have activated autotype for my entries though and I have set up a key binding (Cmd+Ctrl+A) and the titles of my entries correspond with the browser titles so I don’t know where the problem is...
Could someone help me please?

DEBUG INFO:

Does autotype work when you select an entry and press CTRL+V?

[l0f4r0]

Yes but it applies to the active window/tab, no matter its title

[droidmonkey]

Yah just confirming if its an autotype issue or a key-combo/window matching issue. This is a key-combo/window matching issue. Have you tried a different key combo to rule out interference?

[l0f4r0]

Yes, I've associated different key combo to no avail so far...
I don't know what to do now to make it working...

[l0f4r0]

Any idea somebody please? :)

@weslly Can you reproduce this?

[l0f4r0]

Any news?
Tell me if you need more info.
Thanks in anticipation.

Sorry, I didn't see the mention before.

What's your keyboard layout? Does it work if you set the global shortcut to Cmd+\?

[l0f4r0]

According to System Preferences->Keyboard, my layout is : "Français".
You want me to set the global shortcut to Cmd+? I've tried, it does nothing.

I can reproduce it now. The global shortcut doesn't support custom keyboard layouts. I use Colemak instead of QWERTY but never noticed it because my / key stays in the same location as QWERTY.

@l0f4r0 Can you try setting it to ⌘CtrlY?

[l0f4r0]

It works with ⌘CtrlY! :)
Have you planned to make it work with any key combination and custom layout?

[l0f4r0]

So? :)

This issue is still open therefore we consider it something that needs fixing. Eventually.

Looks like I'm having the same problem on fedora 30. I had to set my Global Auto-Type shortcut to Ctrl+Alt+Q so that when I effectively type Ctrl+Alt+A the auto-type is called.
I'm using KeePassXC 2.4.3 and an azerty lay out.
Cheers to the team.
