Are you doing this with Quicknav on or off/ Also, what is the website? Some
things to try perhaps is with Quicknav on, use F to go from field to field. You
can then turn it off and fill in said field. Also, autofill can be your friend
in Safari as it can fill in a lot of the info saving work.
I personally think this would be a great discussion for the list. for instance,

Once you are on a user name edit field, Safari will give you the option to use

Zoom is a great option for that. It’s vary easy to set up and you don’t have to
do any customizing. You simply need the free account set up meting ID, Make

If I understand what you are describing, then no. The zip file is separate from
what it contains. In other words, your file called first name can get changed,
but that would not affect the files inside the Zip file, even if they had the
