System wide hot keys can be used to call different TK8 Safe commands from other programs. TK8 Safe has three system wide key combinations:

 

 

System wide hot key will bring up TK8 Safe in case some other program is currently active. If the program is already active, and the option "Lock the program with hot key if active" is set, the file will be locked.

 

 

If you need to auto type some login information, you can press the Auto-Type hot key in your keyboard. After pressed, you will be asked what entry you would like to use on filling (if you are on that page first time). The connection with that window and the selected entry can be remembered, so next time you press auto-type hot key on that same page, right entry is located automatically and login prompts filled immediately. This is called "Auto-Type Memory". If you want to disable remembering page connections, you can do this by checking th eoption "Disable Auto-Type Memory for system wide hotkey". If disabled, autofill system wide hotkey will fill the fields with the data of currently selected entry (from Main window).

 

 

Run hot key will open the list of entries and allows you to select which entry link you would like to launch.

 

In case the file is locked at the moment auto-type or run hot key is pressed, you have to enter the password of your database file at first.

 

To change hot keys, click on the edit box and press desired key combination.

 

If you want to submit the auto-typed information automatically after the login prompt is filled, you can check the option "Send additional {ENTER} key press after Auto-Type is complete".

 

Please note: If some other program is using the same key combination defined in TK8 Safe, the hot key may not work. In case the hot key is not working, please change it. When changing, TK8 Safe does not allow you to set hot keys already active in your system.

 

On this page you will also find the option to automatically lock your file after you have auto-typed the login prompt.

 

You can also set a delay time between the key strokes sent to the application or the web page. Some web pages do not like when the data is entered too fast. In such cases, you can increase the delay length, so it seems to the page that a real human would type the info in.
