<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I think clearing the clipboard is a good idea. I would prefer one of the following options to the proposed --Clip, though:</div><div><br></div><div>1) simply replace the current --clip to clear the password instead of restoring them. Frankly, we do not need two command line flags that do almost the same.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) If some more backward compatibility is desired, the new pass process (let's call it B) should detect an existing pass process (A) waiting to clear the clipboard. B could then send A a custom signal or so, causing it to reset the time limit to 45 seconds from now. B then terminates, and A resets the clipboard to the original value after 45 seconds.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Option (1) is simpler, option (2) would be what I expect. Do people think it's worth the complexity?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Jonas</div></div><div><div>

That seems completely reasonable. I have never encountered another<br>
application that reverted the clipboard to a previous value, so I never<br>
expected pass to do it.<br>

I rattled up a version of pass with "-C" and "--Clip" options (note capitals), the same as "-c" and "--clip", except that the clipboard is not cleared.<br>
<br>
Any interest?<br>
<br>
How does one submit PRs or patches to this project?<br>
