Please make API key use "readonly" instead of "disabled" so it is selectable / copyable

[aplocher]

Currently the API key is in a textbox marked as "disabled". This makes it impossible to select and copy in Firefox (and probably every other browser). The only way to enter it elsewhere is to type each character or use the QR Scan feature.

By marking the input field as Readonly instead of Disabled, it will remain selectable.

Alternatively, a separate javascript link/button which offers to "copy" would work, too.

I was kinda torn on whether this should be filed as a bug or feature request. I can't imagine that not being able to copy the API key is intentional. The version I'm using is OctoPrint 1.3.5 (master branch).

Thanks

Hi @aplocher,

It looks like there is some information missing from your bug report that will be needed in order to solve the problem. Read the Contribution Guidelines which will provide you with a template to fill out here so that your bug report is ready to be investigated (I promise I'll go away then too!).

If you did not intend to report a bug but wanted to request a feature or brain storm about some kind of development, please take special note of the title format to use as described in the Contribution Guidelines.

Please do not abuse the bug tracker as a support forum - if you have a question or otherwise need some kind of help or support refer to the Mailinglist or the G+ Community instead of here.

Also make sure you are at the right place - this is the bug tracker of the official version of OctoPrint, not the Raspberry Pi image OctoPi nor any unbundled third party OctoPrint plugins or unofficial versions. Make sure too that you have read through the Frequently Asked Questions and searched the existing tickets for your problem - try multiple search terms please.

I'm marking this one now as needing some more information. Please understand that if you do not provide that information within the next two weeks (until 2017-11-15 21:20 UTC) I'll close this ticket so it doesn't clutter the bug tracker. This is nothing personal, so please just be considerate and help the maintainers solve this problem quickly by following the guidelines linked above. Remember, the less time the devs have to spend running after information on tickets, the more time they have to actually solve problems and add awesome new features. Thank you!

Best regards,

#2056 API key will be getting its very own shiny "copy to clipboard" button in a future release of OctoPrint.

That copying doesn't work due to the disabled field is indeed a Firefox-only problem as far as I am aware, see also #2056. As mentioned by @ntoff, a copy button has already been added and will be rolled out with 1.3.6.

I'm closing this since it's pretty much a duplicate of the aforementioned ticket, comments are still possible though.
