Auto-type has been a feature of Windows KeePass for at least five years*. From my very brief tests, it doesn't appear to work with Cygwin X windows or mintty, but it certainly works with most other Windows programs. * The April 2007 release of KeePass 1.07 talks about auto-type; I didn't look further back in the changelogs than that. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
