3.3.3 Enter Data with Recent Typing

Using the Recent Typing gallery or task pane, you can quickly view and select from a list of recently typed items, and send the selected string to the active document.

  • This feature is not available with VT sessions.

  • Typing is not captured in hidden-text fields such as passwords.
