[pass] feature [--clip,-c] <store> [n]

[JD]

Hi. Since we're back to brainstorming, may I add one more idea?

My ideal interface would clip the top [n] lines in reverse order and then
paste them one at a time.  Pass would pause for 45 seconds and detect
pastes from either middle-clicks or other pasting key commands before
continuing. Nicolas S. Dade did something similar in his *pwsafe* project,
using the standard Unix tools *xev* and *awk*.

It might look like this:

pass [--clip,-c] <store> [n]

pass -c <store> 3
Ready to paste line 3 from clipboard. Will clear in 45 seconds.
Sending line 3
Ready to paste line 2 from clipboard. Will clear in 45 seconds.
Sending line 2
Ready to paste line 1 from clipboard. Will clear in 45 seconds.
Sending line 1

Flexible. I might use line three for url, line two for login and line 1 for
password. But, you would be free to use it differently. It should add
utility without taking away from other user interfaces. What do you say, is
this pass "kernel" material?

Logging into a site could be as easy as: middle-click, middle-click, [enter]
