Usage


Store your details in Autofill Forms

On installation Autofill Forms adds a new toolbar button with a pencil icon to your toolbar. You can find it to the left of your address bar. If you hover your mouse pointer over the pencil icon a tooltip is shown, telling you which of your Profiles is currently active and which Mouse Buttons and Keyboard Shortcuts have been configured:

If you click on the drop-down arrow beside the icon (or click with your right mouse button on the pencil icon to invoke the context menu) you will see a popup menu, which allows you to switch Profiles, open up the settings of Autofill Forms or to open up these help pages:

To make use of Autofill Forms you need to open up the Simple Editor on the settings page to fill in your personal form data:

Just fill your details into the textboxes and close the settings page - your data is saved automatically.

To protect your personal data you can also enable Encryption - see Security how to enable this option.

Fill out complete web forms with just one click or a Keyboard Shortcut

Now you will be able to fill out complete web forms with a click on the pencil icon in your toolbar or by using a Keyboard Shortcut.
Give it a try on the Autofill Forms Test Page.

Customize Autofill Forms to your needs

Autofill Forms recognizes the different form fields (Username, E-Mail, Address lines, etc.) using a set of rules. The textboxes on the Simple Editor are the "values" of these rules. Adding additional fields, modifying the underlying set of rules or removing unneeded fields is possible using the Advanced Editor.

Modifying, adding or removing additional Profiles is possible on the Profiles tab of Autofill Forms settings dialog.

Among other Settings Autofill Forms allows you to perform different actions (e.g. fill out and submit forms or fill out forms on all browser tabs) depending on the Mouse Buttons clicked or which Keyboard Shortcut has been used.

Use the context menu to manually fill out form fields

If you click on a form field with your right mouse button (or hold down the control key and click with a single button mouse on a Mac) a context menu appears:

Among other items a menu labeled "Fill out this field" is shown which allows you to fill out the form field manually using any of the data you previously saved in Autofill Forms. This comes in very handy if a form could not be filled automatically.
