4 years agoHey ag_chantelle, I think you figured it out!
That said, we've had some versions where the shortcut only behaved in certain circumstances. For example, if you had a single Login saved for the site it should autofill immediately, but if you have multiple Logins then filling from the inline menu would be the way to go.
This indeed seems to be the issue. I hadn't noticed initially, because I have multiple sign ins for many of the sites I regularly visit, but the shortcut indeed works for sites where there is a single suggested set of credentials only. This also applies to the latest Chrome beta (I think I have it, it's version 2.1.3).
I have the inline menu disabled because it optically clashes with my Safari password suggestions which I still use in parallel, so I think it would be awesome if the shortcut would show some kind of UI prompting me to pick the login I wanted to use in case there are more than one. That's also how previous browser extensions seem to have handled cases like this. My reasoning behind this is that once my muscle memory is trained on pushing Cmd+\
once I see a login prompt, the shortcut should always result in some kind of response, even if it doesn't take me all the way immediately.
Thanks for the great input, I already feel a lot better. 😄
