Macpass: Focus on Search After Unlock

[dotjersh]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I open MacPass via spotlight, the unlock password input is already selected. When I unlock the database, I have to click the search box to search for an entry.

Describe the solution you'd like
The ideal would be that the search-box is already selected.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've looked for a shortcut to select the search box, and tried tab to select the search-box and neither options are available.

Additional context
This is the only road block to inputing a password from macPass completely mouse free.

my plugin provides that functionally - hoping to work @mstarke on porting/re-writing the code into the core code base..

@dotjersh did you ever give the updated build a try?

[georgesnow]

@dotjersh saw your other post. I am also working on the ability to add your master password to your keychain (as convenance feature) as well as Touch ID. #514 if you are interested.

[georgesnow]

in regards to your completely mouse free efforts

[mstarke]

You can use Cmd + F to start the search. Also available under Edit -> Find

[georgesnow]

right, my plugin eliminates that step of Cmd+F. After entering your password and pressing enter as soon as the database unlocks focus is moved to the search box. Samething when using the hotkey in the plugin.

KeePass for windows has I believe a similar function as my plugin:

Otherwise an option will be to select the first entry of the database - here in the German version 'Allgemein' from which a keyboard based navigation is possible.

Full by your side.

Holy crap, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Unfortunately @georgesnow plugin no-longer seems to work.

Autofocus upon unlock without a plugin would be a really wonderful option to have.

[georgesnow]

@iparr oh really? did you check the console for errors? is it not loading the plugin?

and your second point. if I actually get chunk of time I will tackle this. all my side dev stuff has had to take backseat. 😕

[iparr]

This is all I'm going off. I'm unable to find the console - sorry.

Such is life! Thank you.

This might be a side-effect of notarization. The error message is produced when MacPass tries to load the plugin bundle and this one is early on so I suspect some gatekeeper issue.

So it might need some entitlements (entitlements.plist) that needs to be pointed at when you codesign.
