Autofill v10.0.0 released

[Autofill Extension]

Hi folks, Autofill v10 has been a long time coming, probably one of the biggest updates in the history of Autofill! It's got a lot of quality-of-life improvements as well as a boatload of bug fixes, big and small. I'll cover some of the key changes below.

🗲 Changed the behavior of Autofill to always autofill all rules from all profiles that match the site filter. Previously the behavior was to only autofill rules from the active profile, which was a big annoyance for many users. You can revert back to the classic behavior by enabling the "Autofill active profile only" option.

🗲 Added one of the most requested features: the ability to quickly bring up "execute profile" in an overlay (the infobar) using a global hotkey. The right-click context menu as implemented by the browser has always been problematic for the following reasons:

1. In Chrome you are limited to 998 menu items in total, four of which are already used by Autofill, leaving you with 994 (Firefox doesn't have this limit). This limit is shared by both the profiles and text clips submenus. This means, for example, if you have 1500 profiles set up (power user that you are 😉), the "execute profile" context menu would only display 994 profiles; if you also have 500 text clips defined, you would only see up to 494 profiles, and so on.
2. If you have hundreds of profiles, scrolling through them is a royal pain.

By moving the "execute profile" context menu into the infobar, we solve both issues, allowing you to have as many profiles as you want 😁. Additional usability improvements were made by converting the menu into a search box with autocomplete that allows you to easily find a profile to execute. You can execute a profile by typing a few characters and selecting the matching profile (using mouse or keyboard). I think many of you will like the new "execute profile" experience, especially if you assign a hotkey to Autofill (see the FAQ to learn how).

🗲 Added a code editor to make writing JavaScript rules easier. There is now basic syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, bracket auto-completion, and various other niceties to improve your coding experience.

🗲 You can now use variables in the Name and Site fields. This can improve rules organization and maintenance big time.

🗲 Added search! Now you can quickly access your rules by searching for any text that appears in any of the columns in the rules table.

🗲 Added new options in Other Stuff requested by users (toggle icon badge, skip hidden fields, set site filter policy, set infobar auto-close policy).

🗲 The "expand variables" feature now support three new types of lists:

• {(word1|word2|...)} – This variable is like a text spinner, except every time a word is outputted it is removed from the set (you can call it a shrinking text spinner).
• {word1,word2,...} – This variable outputs the words in sequential order as listed instead of randomly. When the last word in the list is outputted, it starts from the beginning again. To include a literal "," in one of the words in the list, escape it with a backslash (\).
• {(word1,word2,...)} – This variable is like the sequential list above, except every time a word is outputted it is removed from the list (you can call it a shrinking sequential list).

🗲 Removed the "fuzzy label matching" option since smart label matching is now built in. This option wasn't getting a lot of use, sometimes led to unexpected results, and was confusing anyway. If anyone was relying on this option and one or more rules stopped working, please report it in this group and I'll get it fixed.

🗲 All keyboard shortcuts in Options have been removed with the exception of Up/Down to move across rules and Alt+Up/Down to reorder rules. Here are the reasons behind this change:

1. This functionality added too much complexity and is not scalable as more options are added to the Other Stuff tab.
2. The shortcuts conflicted with other software for some folks.
3. Using accesskey is not recommended for accessibility reasons (see MDN for more info).

There's a lot more going on, so I recommend combing through the complete list of changes below. Since this is such a major update, and I am one person doing this part-time with no dedicated QA department, I expect there to be bugs; please create a new thread in this group to report any issues you encounter and I will make an effort to get them resolved for you.
