Hive Keychain 1.8.4

Here are some additional good news during this big HIVE pump.
1.8.4.1 is already out on Firefox and will hopefully be on the Chrome Store soon.

Latest updates

requestProxy

A new requestProxy function can be used as follow :

hive_keychain.requestProxy(username,proxy,callback);

proxy must be either the account serving as proxy, or an empty string to remove a proxy.

Keychainify Update

Keychainify, when enabled in the settings triggers a Keychain popup for transfer, delegation, witness votes and now proxy, when a corresponding HiveSigner window is open.

Most of my work this week was directed to update Keychainify to work when no account is specified on HiveSigner, which is often the case. When that happens,Keychain will open a popup with a dropdown containing all the accounts that have the desired authority.

Let's see an example of how this works!

Other changes

• Design adjustments
• Resolved issue #41 by making the scrollbar visible

Next Steps

• Enabling Hive Engine
• Adding signTx method
• Make it easier to import accounts to Keychain upon creation

Downloading the extension

It will update by itself.

It will update automatically.

Local installation or update

• Export your keys (from settings)
• If you have a previous local version of Hive Keychain, uninstall it from your extension manager.

Once the extension installed you can make any kind of requests that were available on Steem Keychain. For this you just need to:
