Feature Request: Wizard type multiline / editor
Summary
Support a new entry type in the creation wizard that will open the $EDITOR for long multi-line strings similar to the insert functionality but following the wizard template flow.
Doesn't our template feature allow for that already? ~https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass/blob/master/docs/features.md#password-templates~
Edit: Sorry, I meant to link to the Wizard's template, not the other ones: https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass/blob/master/docs/commands/create.md#templates
Just tested it and yeah, it's not exactly mutli-line, but you can create a template on multiple lines, e.g.:
password
org: TEST
user: name
comment: This is a test
Would you mind providing us with a bit more details, maybe a "typical example" or a "test case" to see how the feature should work?
Sure, I am interesting in storing secured notes in gopass as I am migrating from my password manager Bitwarden. You can use string and get a single line input, but it's a little awkward with large multiline payloads and requires that you paste it in rather than write it. Then I have to go in and ensure the formatting is correct.
The alternative would be to insert -m <path>
which would open up the $EDITOR and allow me to create a password such as:
note: 1234
5678
9101
etc
Oh, I see. Does gopass edit -c new/entry/name
suffices for your needs?
Yes, there are ways to work around it. But as a feature, this would be nice so that I could create fluid wizard templates for my team's input of data in a consistent way.
