I'm not actually sure. It depends on a lot of things - some prompts have a blocking API, and qutebrowser/QtWebEngine ignore a lot of actions while such a prompt is open. Certainly not via :insert-text, as that inserts text into the website. In theory, ":prompt-accept username:password" or ":fake-key -g text" would work, but in practice it indeed looks like this is only executed after the prompt is closed. I don't think there's anything qutebrowser can do about that, I'm afraid. On Thu, Feb 06, 2020 at 11:00:35AM +0100, Valentin Iovene wrote: > I'd be interested in using your userscript.
