Whilst this is great I have to go fossiking for them when I want to use them as I may only use them on a monthly basis so need to look through my script to find the hotkey for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my AHK productivity books I also had a part that dealt with how to do auto-fill a web form and drilled into it a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love QAP as its such a great place to easily access information that you want, and you just need to set and forget.  I hadn&#8217;t considered using it to store my auto fills &amp; will move my information onto them now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to Quickly and easily complete online Forms with Quick Access Popup\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/32ObgELDGk8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The article referred to in the video is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickaccesspopup.com\/tips-filling-a-web-form-using-snippets\/\">HERE.<\/a><\/strong> There wasn&#8217;t a link in the video and I had to go fossiking for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setting Up in QAP <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I created a new sub-menu to keep the scripts in and I just cut\/pasted from my AutoHotKey script that I have constantly running. It didn&#8217;t work as it\u2019s a script with multiple lines of script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The QAP method is a complete string of all joined together. I&#8217;ve done this in the past but it means that I will have to adjust it. Also there are 3 parts to my script as it waits for you to click into the initial cell, then it presses a button and you are taken to a different webpage, so I&#8217;ve a pause in my script (to  next web page to open before continuing), I&#8217;m not sure that you can do it in the snippet as per QAP method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good to try and I see the logic of it so I&#8217;ll plan to use it in the future. At this time I&#8217;ve got my current setup that works and I&#8217;ll stick with Hotkey activation for the present. For other sites I may use this method instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">End Comment <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is definitely a good use for the QAP snippet and I&#8217;ll be migrating a few of my snippets that I don&#8217;t use continuously from Hotkeys to QAP. I can make a Directory and keep them all together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks Joe for pointing that out, a really useful tool. Also thanks to Jean for QAP which is such a fantastic tool. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been reading the Joe Glines weekly friday newsletter and it had an item in it about using Quick Access Popup (QAP) for auto filling in forms.
