Sounds like a good idea. I've seen it elsewhere, but can't remember where.
Hey,
yeah it already exists in pwsafe: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pwsafe/
This can be done, however CPM is not an Xwindows application; it is a console application. Interfacing with X requires dependencies on libs that aren't necessarily available or wanted, so we would have to either
I prefer to do the latter and I am happy to take contributions for pushing into X selection.
Hello,
yeah, I tried it already to implement the feature but I failed, because I'm too less experienced in writing C code. So I'm really sorry about that. But if I can help you, let me know.
You're right it would be mad to require X depencies on a server!
If you want to avoid dependencies, you can do: echo "$password" | xsel -i
You can check for xsel at startup time and offer the copy key if xsel is available
Hello,
maybe it would be better if there would be the possibility to copy the password to the X selection instead of displaying it on the screen (somebody else could read it). Also a warning befor showing the passwords could be helpful (of course you should able to disable the message in the config to prevent from annoying).
I know it's a password manager for the console, but this function would be desirable for your tool, it exists already in pwsafe.
Thanks a lot for cpm, it's a very nice password manager!
Greetings
