Copy password not working

Closed this issue · 7 comments

The copy password command does nothing except displaying a notification.
I have xclip installed.

This is actually working but I have to maintain shift to make it work because I have a french keyboard layout. Is this intended behavior? Is it possible to change the shortcut for copy autotype_x?

@DBLouis yes, it's possible. In your config add something like:

key_bindings:
  copy_password: 'Alt+c'

See the rofi manpage for possible key bindings.

Sorry I was asking about changing the shortcut for autotypes. Copy password is still not working, it only displays a notification but the password is not copied into the clipboard.

I'm pretty sure it's copied into the clipboard, but maybe not into the selection you're expecting. I'm sorry if I'm stating obvious things here, but I want to be sure we leave no stone unturned. The X clipboard has two "selections": primary and clipboard. Autopass will copy passwords and usernames to the primary selection. You can paste from this selection using your middle mouse button or shift+insert.

It seems to work. Thank you. Maybe you should add this to the readme because it is not obvious.

@DBLouis indeed i should, btw, if you don't like the current behavior you're free to change this with the (also poorly documented) config setting: clip_command. Change it to clip -selection clipboard to use the clipboard selection.

@DBLouis due to current lack of documentation, check out https://github.com/jreinert/autopass/blob/master/lib/autopass/config.rb for all available config options.
