| Subject: | wish: cancel fillout halfway through |
I'm working with a very large form that I just want to fill out a few values in and then use "forms" again to check the result. I would like to be able to use something like "Control-G" or some other method to abort the fillout function.
This should be fairly easy to implement. Here's a "screenshot" of "fillout" safely aborting all by itself:
(radio)featured_on_front_page_p> []
Illegal value '' at /sw/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/WWW/Mechanize/FormFiller.pm line 106
The prompt was returned after this and the values that were already filled in were preserved. A very graceful failure! I imagine this just "die" being caught by an eval. I'd like a signal handler (or something) to allow me to do this intentionally.
Now to sneak in a separate suggestion. Does it make sense to show the "autofilled" values when "forms" is first used? I'm interested in that to verify that autofill is doing what I expect. I can also see that it would make sense /not/ to do this, to observe the form in it's "natural" state.
