Send function to fill webforms Topic is solved

[wheels02]

Hello,

Hoping there's just something simple I've overlooked here.

I'm running Windows 10, trying to use AHK to auto-fill a username and password on webforms. Here's what I've got so far:

Code: Select all

#Z::
	SendInput [username]
	Send, {Tab}
	SendInput [password]
	Send, {Enter}
return

It works, but intermittently. Sometimes there seems to be some interference between the triggering hotkey and the text that it sends. For example - my hotkey is Win+Z; if the username or password contains an "l", the PC will lock (Windows hotkey to lock is Win+L). Sometimes an uppercase letter in the username or password will get sent as lowercase. And other times it works exactly as I intended.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Try LastPass. It's significantly safer than keeping your credentials in plain-text like that.

As for your problem though, try

Code: Select all

sendMode,input
$#z::send {blind}{lwin up}{rwin up}[username]{tab}[password]{enter}

If you're aiming specifically for Z/Shift+z

Code: Select all

sendMode,input
$#+z::send {blind}{lwin up}{rwin up}{shift up}[username]{tab}[password]{enter}

Thanks!

I should clarify that this is for use in a somewhat closed environment, where the same username and pw apply to WebGUIs on multiple devices. For personal/internet use, I do use KeePass which is similar to Lastpass.

Ultimately - I ended up switching to a different hotkey to keep Windows from detecting the lock signal. Then I added the {Text} tag at the beginning of each stream, which seems to have resolved the intermittent issue with incorrect upper/lowercase letters being sent. So far so good!
