pass-sclip

A pass extension to copy to screen’s paste buffer.

Installation

Put sclip.bash in either of /usr/lib/password-store/extensions (global installation) or ~/.password-store/.extensions (local to your user). Make sure, that:

1. sclip.bash is executable, and
2. that you have PASSWORD_STORE_ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=true exported.

Usage

Works exactly like pass show --clip, but puts the password in screen’s paste buffer. Example:

$ pass sclip foo/bar
Copied foo/bar to screen clipboard. Will clear in 45 seconds.

Now you can use the key combo Ctrl-a ] to paste the password into a screen window.

The screen paste buffer will be cleared after the same time that pass show --clip uses. Use PASSWORD_STORE_CLIP_TIME to controll it.
