FYI: if I start CopyQ with "env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb copyq", it stops to record the text copied, it only store the last one before open copyq (if you need I can record a screencast for you)

Unfortunately, the Wayland version of the app does not support getting window title. See also: https://copyq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/known-issues.html#known-issue-wayland

CopyQ now ignores secrets copied from password managers and other apps out of the box. The problem is that some apps do not indicate properly that clipboard contains a secret/password.

Can you check what formats are listed in the clipboard after you copy something from KeeWeb? You can inspect the formats by selecting File - Show Clipboard Content from menu bar in CopyQ (Ctrl+Shift+C).

I don't read anything about window title on that page. I have try also install the suggested CopyQ command/script Wayland Support without luck.

Before CopyQ worked by forcing it to run on X11 (ie env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb copyq), but It doesn't work anymore. It doesn't save the clipboard history.

I don't think there is any way to tell that the text copied from KeeWeb is a password, is there?

Thanks for your quick reply and help!

Ah, I think I only mentioned it in the initial issue (https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/27). I will add the info.

The command currently only adds support for getting window titles in Sway and Hyprland compositors.

That's bad, I guess it depends on the Wayland compositor and desktop environment.

Yeah, unfortunately, I don't see any formats that would indicate a secret.

BTW, you can try using Ignore Passwords/Tokens command which is detecting potential passwords/tokens in the copied text - but it sometimes matches other non-password things.

Nice, can be useful. At least, it's better to have false positive (ie. password detected and not saved) than false negative.

Thanks for your help! :)

Excuse me, I would like to open a feature request for KeeWeb, about this password format. Could you provide some information on what kind of format should be provided?

I found something about application/x-kde-passwordManagerHint mime type, but It seems specific for kde. What mime type does copyq need...thanks!

This is how CopyQ knows that the clipboard is not meant to be stored or further processed:

• On Linux: clipboard contains x-kde-passwordManagerHint format containing secret ASCII text
• On Mac: clipboard contains application/x-nspasteboard-concealed-type format
• On Windows: clipboard contains any of the data described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dataxchg/clipboard-formats#cloud-clipboard-and-clipboard-history-formats
