I would like a macro string (or accelerator) that would enable me to automatically enter my email (or other text I frequently have to insert and for which I do not want to make mistakes) anywhere I want to at the press of a button.

Simple. No reason not to do it. If you know the string, please email me.

Thanks

Try with this macro code!
Go to menu: Edit -> Configs -> User Macros
Create a new text file named Auto-Fill.kmm, open it with notepad (or similar) and paste this code;

# K-Meleon Macros (http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?id=MacroLanguage)

# ---------- Custom menu: Auto-Fill -------------------------------------------
#
# Dependencies	: -
# Resources	: -
# Preferences	: -
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Define_Text{
$STRING=getpref(STRING, "user.preference.auto-fill.string");
statusbar("Default accelerate for Auto-Fill: ALT+F");
$VALUE=prompt("Insert Auto-Fill string:", "Define Auto-Fill string", $STRING);
$VALUE!=""? $STRING=$VALUE:0;
$VALUE!=""? setpref(STRING, "user.preference.auto-fill.string", $STRING):0;
}

Define_Acc{
$ACC_KEYS=getpref(STRING, "user.preference.auto-fill.acc_keys");
statusbar("Accelerate for Auto-Fill must be in KM format keys: ALT F");
$VALUE=prompt("Insert Auto-Fill accelerator keys:", "Auto-Fill Accel", $ACC_KEYS);
$VALUE!=""? $ACC_KEYS=$VALUE:0;
$VALUE!=""? setpref(STRING, "user.preference.auto-fill.acc_keys", $ACC_KEYS):0;
$VALUE!=""? setaccel($ACC_KEYS, "macros(Paste_Text)"):0;
$VALUE!=""? setaccel("ALT F", NULL):0;
}

Paste_Text{
$TEXT=getclipboard();
$STRING=getpref(STRING, "user.preference.auto-fill.string");
setclipboard($STRING);
id(ID_EDIT_PASTE);
setclipboard($TEXT);
}

# ----- PRIVATE

AutoFill_BuildMenu{
setmenu("Settings",popup,"A&uto-Fill");
setmenu("A&uto-Fill",macro,"&Define Auto-Fill text ...",Define_Text);
setmenu("A&uto-Fill",macro,"&Define Auto-Fill accelerator ...",Define_Acc);
$VALUE=getpref(STRING, "user.preference.auto-fill.acc_keys");
$VALUE!=""? setaccel($VALUE, "macros(Paste_Text)"): setaccel("ALT F", "macros(Paste_Text)");
}


$OnInit=$OnInit."AutoFill_BuildMenu;";

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$macroModules=$macroModules."Auto-Fill;";

Save changes and restart K-Meleon for changes take effect.

Now you have a new submenu named "Auto-Fill" in Tools menu.

Enjoy!

Alt-F is not a good idea, it's by default the File menu shortcut.

I'm sorry, it isn't by default the File (Archivo) menu shortcut or any other, in spanish.

You can change it if you like, it's free and easy.
(You can use "Define Auto-Fill accelerator ..." option)

Thanks for all that information. Would there be something simpler via accelerators?

For example a line like this in accel.cfg:

VK_F12 = Type "myemail@yahoo.ca`"

That one does not work obviously. Maybe you have suggestions.

Thanks for the marco. I will use it if there are no accelertor alternatives.

Nothing easier than that. You only need to modify the following line at the bottom of the macro:

$VALUE!=""? setaccel($VALUE, "macros(Paste_Text)"): setaccel("ALT F", "macros(Paste_Text)");

to:

$VALUE!=""? setaccel($VALUE, "macros(Paste_Text)"): setaccel("VK_F12", "macros(Paste_Text)");

Hi

Tried it but it does not work for the following reasons: I am using Pocket Kmeleon 1.02. The later version by Alain Aupeix (1.12) is highly instable with Vista. I really wish it did. So, I cannot upgrade to it (unless you know how to fix it).

1) There is no USER MACROS option. The EDIT>CONFIGURATION>MACROS gets you to the macros.cfg file.

I have tried copying & pasting the above macro at the bottom of the file but there blind links. When I start up Kmeleon, I get two error/conflict messages. If you need those, I could get you the exact text, one had to do with oninit or something like that?

Would creating a folder USER MACROS and adding the Auto-Fill.kmm file to it be a solution. If so, where do I create it exactly.

Or, is there a better solution?

Thanks.

I could translate the code to old 1.02 macro language. Wait a few time i need do some tests.

Remmember kmm files only work for 1.1x and later versions.
Below code is for 1.02 and before versions.

1) Go to menu: Edit -> Configuration -> Macros
Copy next code to end of file macros.cfg and save changes:

# ----- Auto-Fill macro extension:

AF_Define_Text{
$STRING=getpref(STRING, "user.preference.auto-fill.string");
statusbar("Default accelerate for Auto-Fill: F12");
$VALUE=prompt("Insert Auto-Fill string:", "Define Auto-Fill string", $STRING);
$VALUE!=""? $STRING=$VALUE:0;
$VALUE!=""? setpref(STRING, "user.preference.auto-fill.string", $STRING):0;
}

AutoFill{
$TEXT=getclipboard();
$STRING=getpref(STRING, "user.preference.auto-fill.string");
setclipboard($STRING);
id(ID_EDIT_PASTE);
setclipboard($TEXT);
}

2) Go to menu: Edit -> Configuration -> Menus
Search for 'Tools' in file menus.cfg, add the next bold line and save changes:

# ----- Tools

&Tools{
%ifplugin macros
:&Mail And News
-
: Page &Search
:&Web Search
:&Translate From
%else
&Web Search\tCtrl+G=ID_NAV_SEARCH
%endif
%ifplugin macros|privacy
-
:&Privacy
%endif
%ifplugin macros
: Pro&xy
:&User Agent
-
macros(AF_Define_Text,&Auto-Fill...)
macros(Hotlinks,&Hotlinks...)
macros(MGestures,Mouse &Gestures...)
-
macros(JSConsole,JavaScript &Console)
%endif
}

3) Go to menu: Edit -> Configuration -> Accelerators
Copy next code to end of file accel.cfg and save changes:

# Auto-Fill:
VK_F12 = macros(AutoFill)

- Restart K-Meleon for changes take effect. And now you have a new option in menu Tools 'Auto-Fill...' for define Auto-Fill string and you can use Auto-Fill push F12 key.

Greetings and enjoy!
