Usage

Setting Up

1. Access the Popup: Click on the Swecho icon in your Chrome toolbar to open the extension popup.
2. Configure Hotkey: By default, the hotkey to synchronize input values is set to Ctrl + Shift + C. If you wish to change the character (e.g., to D for Ctrl + Shift + D), simply enter the desired character in the input field within the popup and click "Save".

Using Swecho on Swagger Pages

1. Navigate to a Swagger Page: Ensure that the page has the structure
   .
2. Input Synchronization: Whenever you input a value into a field on the Swagger page, Swecho will automatically synchronize this value to other matching fields.
3. Manual Synchronization with Hotkey: If a new input field becomes available or is enabled, you can manually synchronize it with a matching field that has content. Simply focus on the new input field and press the hotkey (e.g., Ctrl + Shift + C). The value from the first matching field with content will be copied to the currently focused field.

Troubleshooting

• If the popup displays "This is not a Swagger page", it means Swecho has detected that the current page is not a valid Swagger page and will not perform any synchronization actions.
• Ensure that the hotkey character is set correctly in the popup settings.
