form fill like SM 1.x?

Is there a bug open for making form fill work like SM 1.x, where
double-click will fill in the entry if there is only one item in the
drop-down list, instead of displaying the list? If not, any reason not
to open one? It would make form fill much quicker again.

Speaking of form fill, is the form manager completely gone now? The
only options I see are enabling it (together with search history - what
is that, exactly?), and a limit on the number of days.

I'm not sure we could implement this, as form fill is mostly handled by
Toolkit. Of course, they may well accept a patch.

Yes, the old form manager is no more; you could try using the SQLite
Manager add-on to open the form history database.

I still don't get what search history is...

Very nice, thanks for the tip! I could argue that this should be part
of the program; if I opened such a bug, would it get marked WONTFIX?

I couldn't find a better component than "General"

Nice management but doesn't allow filling in a form with one click or
may I have overlooked that?
