✅ Autofill shortcut should open login window when vault is locked

Feature Requests Password Manager

So, I just commented on this in another thread: Add essential keyboard shortcuts & navigation

But in terms of what @kspearrin said about browser APIs, isn’t this exactly what the Ctrl+Shift+Y shortcut does? So this would be the same thing, having the extension pop up when you press Ctrl+Shift+L, but then just autofill after you press enter confirming your password/PIN.

Here is how I thought it should work:

Currently, I unlock with a PIN, and have it auto lock after 5 minutes. While the vault is unlocked, Ctrl+Shit+L works wonders to just autofill. But when it is locked, I have to click on the extension, type my pin, click the login to autofill, escape out of the extension and then click enter. Here’s my idea for how Ctrl+Shit+L should work when locked:

  1. Open a login page
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+L
  3. Extension window pops up asking for password/PIN
  4. You type password/PIN, press enter and the extension closes and autofills automatically.

THis would make it being secure (locked) a lot more convenient.
