[Feature Request] Selected Indicator #115

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
-17 on Win 8.1 x64

Please provide any additional information below.

I would like a visual indicator that the code is currently selected to be 
copied. Like when you select text. Currently you can't select anything on the 
auth "card" which is kinda confusing.

Do you mean when you right-click, so you can see which one is selected - by 
perhaps being highlighted?

Major english fail there by me :D I actually meant normal text selection for 
the code, like on that screenshot: https://db.tt/VwkB2822

Right now the text of the code is deliberately not selectable, because it would 
then be more easily read/scraped by malicious software. So it is drawn rather 
than actual text, also to leave it open for adding anti-OCR/obfuscation later.

Are you just trying to select it so you can copy it? Can you not use the 
right-click and choose "copy code"?

Yeah exactly. It just feels not intuitive this way but I understand the 
security concern!

I know what you are saying but I guess in needs some thought to see how it can 
be done trying to keep some security and convenience.

I'm kind of against adding an option to allow you to use standard select and 
copy (like in some of the dialogs) mainly because the sequence would be: turn 
copying on, copy code, turn copying off. Seems silly when the copy code menu 
item does that for you.

So maybe it would be a custom select that would behave like standard but on my 
secure text field.

What I'm saying is I'll set the state to "hmmmmmm...." for now :)

Thanks for feedback though, appreciate it. Anything else is always useful.
