support filling passwords in HTTP Basic Auth dialogs

[pabs3]

I have some situations where I am connecting to a server that uses HTTP Basic Auth and the browser (Firefox in this case) pops up a dialog to enter the password. It seems that browserpass is currently doesn't support these dialogs, it would be great if it could so that I don't have to resort to the command line and so that I don't have to use copy & paste, which puts the password into the copy/paste history on my desktop.

Browserpass already supports this - see the "Modal HTTP Authentication" section of the readme.

Use CTRL+G or CTRL+SHIFT+G to launch a password entry using this method.

Maybe this or one of the many other already closed bug reports about this "issue" should be pinned. I was about to report the same...

Besides that, the "Modal HTTP authentication" section in the README does not mention Ctrl-G or Ctrl-Shift-G. You might want to mention it explicitly there in addition to the keybindings table.

Please also document where the shortcut for this should be pressed. I thought it was in the main browser window, but it seems it only works when the browserpass toolbar button was clicked and the panel is open.
