AutoType on Mac Broken 2.4.1 -- Similar to Issue #2883

[HUGHUSR]

Just upgraded to 2.4.1 from 2.3.something. No issue with autotype in previous version.

Neither CMD-V nor SHIFT-CMD-V work.
Does not work on a second attempt to an app either. Or, third, for that matter.

A few clarifications.

1. Re: Hide window when performing entry auto-type on macOS Hide window when performing entry auto-type on macOS #2969 -- I do NOT have this option selected.
2. Breaks with any app I try, including: Cliqz (any website login), Firefox (any website login), Safari (any website login), Grammarly app, iTunes app, and Adium app.

I can confirm. I'm seeing the same behavior. I'm running 2.4.1 on macOS 10.14.4.

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Same here, nothing happens when I press autotype key. I've downgraded to 2.3.4 and works fine.

Try disabling and enabling accessibility access for KeePassXC in the macOS settings.

[HUGHUSR]

Uh... I found it -- security & privacy. It never has been enabled. Enabling it did not fix the problem. On 5/14/2019 at 5:55 PM, hu-github@nym.hush.com wrote:Hi, Sorry... but I have no clue. I don't see anywhere in settings in macOS 10.12.6 to control this. Nothing in Accessibility and nothing in Extensions. Where should I have been looking? Thanks!

For what it is worth, upgraded to 2.4.3 and this is still broken.
If I downgrade 2.3.4, it works. So, it is not a macOS issue.

[droidmonkey]

I just used auto-type with 2.4.3 on macOS. I can assure you it works. I meant to close this before.

[gfairchild]

Clicking on a row in KeePassXC and hitting CMD+V definitely does not work for me. This used to work without issue, but it no longer works for me with 2.4.3. @droidmonkey, how did you make it work for you? Is there some config change that needs to happen?

[droidmonkey]

The keyboard shortcut for selected Auto-Type was changed to CMD+SHIFT+V in 2.4.0

[HUGHUSR]

Hi, Can you please explain to me what I may be doing different that is preventing it from working? I have tried it on two different Macs and it fails on both. The only thing potentially unusual is that I have the app installed on the memory stick with my databases. Also, I don't have a problem with 2.3.x, so what could possibly be different? Thanks!

Right. But, when using that shortcut, or using the menu, it still does not work. I have done some experimenting. If I enable Global AutoType, it never finds a match on either title or URL -- despite them being exact matches for what is in KDBX. I appreciate any help / suggestions you may have.

If you are using the "entry level" auto-type and the KeePassXC window goes to the background and the last used window gets focus but nothing gets typed... that indicates the accessibility "control of computer" setting is not applying. Remove and re-add KeePassXC as a trusted application. If you have BOTH KeePassXC 2.3.4 and 2.4.3 installed you may have to enable both of them.

If you are using the global auto-type and nothing is being found in the database, try relaxing the window matching criteria by introducing wildcards:

This worked! I must've missed that line when I read the changelog. Thanks for the help.
