Another minor one...
Ctrl-A doesn't do anything, and Ctrl-B always results to a default window size that cuts off part of the bottom two lines of descriptive text...
It's possible that my non-functional Ctrl-A is a conflict with another extension I guess, but I haven't had time to troubleshoot yet...

As I said before in some other thread, but it's probably got lost aomewhere, ctrl-A is 'select all', at least in Windows it is.
I would recommend using ctrl-1 and ctrl-2, or may be some function key, such as F11 F12, or something like that. I am sure that Eric, the master of all passwords, already has some alternative up his sleeve.

I'm going to use a single key, maybe cntrl-P for PasswordMaker, which toggles between both. No need for two keys. Ctrl-B always results to a default window size that cuts off part of the bottom two lines of descriptive text... This concerns me. I haven't seen this. Can you post a screenshot using imageshack.us? Thanks, Eric |

Eric, while using just one key this is a good idea, ctrl-P won't work either, because that calls the Windows print dialog. Ctrl-B seems to work just fine. I understand why you would want to use the ctrl sequences you have chosen so far, but unfortunatley they all seem to be taken by the OS, with the exception ctrl-B. :(

Good point. Thanks. I'll leave it cntrl-B. Cntrl-1 is too close to the ` key, IMHO.

Can you post a screenshot using imageshack.us? ya go... I resize the window, close it, and the next time it opens, its back to this size. I did uninstall 0.8b before installing, and I did try moving the rdf file. Anything else I can try? Thanks |

Eric, how about letting the user choose which one to use for the toggle. I think crtl-A is ascii 1, right ? So the user would just type a letter of his or her choice and PM would just deduct 64 from the corresponding ascii code for the character. So then, when the ascii of the captured keystroke is equal to that code, it'll just toggle.
Just an idea. I am sure that you'll find a slick way to accomodate everyone.
ctrl-B works great. I would be happy with that. But then, how often do I go to the basic settings ? Very seldom.

So then, when the ascii of the captured keystroke is equal to that code, it'll just toggle. This is actually a lot more difficult to implement in XUL than what you describe because I read on the mozdev project owner's list once that dynamically changing XUL <key/> elements causes some versions of Firefox and Mozilla to crash. There's probably a way to do it, but I'd rather spend my time on something more worthwhile. I've decided to use Ctrl-s as the single shortcut. S is better than B because it exists in both menu items (Ba sic Options and Advanced Option s). Using a letter not in the menu item causes a strange looking menu, trust me. Here ya go...
I resize the window, close it, and the next time it opens, its back to this size.
I did uninstall 0.8b before installing, and I did try moving the rdf file. Anything else I can try? Thanks. Ed mentioned here that this was reintroduced in 0.8.1. I've already fixed it and it will be in 0.8.2. |

Those seem to work on W2k. Otherwise, there is always the old standby ctrl-B. It seems like you will have a tough time finding a meaningful ctrl sequence. |

Don't worry, it works. Download 0.8.2 and try it out! I think we can safely close this issue... after you try 0.8.2 let me know if you agree.

Eric, it does work in 0.8.0. However, in the change log you say: Toggle shortcuts Ctrl-A and Ctrl-B have been changed to the single, new shortcut Ctrl-G as discussed here. and ctrl-G does not work. Just thought you might like to know. |
