I like to use the shortcut (Ctrl-Shift-L), but if it’s still locked, nothing happens. I can use Ctrl-Shift-Y, but it would save me a few seconds if it would open up and perhaps show a “Please unlock your passwords” type message when it opens.

This has already been asked but it’s been answered that it’s not feasible due to browser limitations, though I can’t find the related thread(s)
I know this is “old”, but I would also like to have to Ctrl-Shift-L auto-fill shortcut to allow unlocking the vault, as it’s quite frustrating every time I want to fill and my vault is locked having to unlock with Ctrl+Shit+Y first… Thanks!
Edit: desired behavior is neatly described here:
I have my vault set to lock immediately, so this would make the autofill shortcut a lot more useful.

I see this as a bug and not a feature-request, if opinions differ feel free to c… lose.
Steps to reproduce:
- Unlock vault
- CTRL+SHIFT+L (to verify it works on the page)
- Lock vault / wait for Vault to automatically lock
- Clear input fields
- CTRL+SHIFT+L
Expected behaviour:
- When locked the vault asks you to enter the password to unlock and after a successful unlock fills the last used password.
Actual behaviour:
- Nothing happens.
Potential fix being worked on here:

Trying to auto-fill or generate a password using Ctrl+Shift+L or
Ctrl+Shift+9, … respectively, while the vault is locked should prompt
the user to unlock the vault, instead of silently failing.
Ideally, the popup should close itself after unlocking successfully;
filling in the form in case of the autofill command and copying the
generated password to the clipboard otherwise.
But that would require quite a lot of changes. With this change, at
least there's feedback about the intended action.
