In case someone like me uses a different schema for filenames, which does not include the username in the file name.
Is "copying username to clipboard" meanwhile possible? It would be also useful for me.
I propose a feature like `pass -c 2`, which copies the second line of the pass-file to clipboard.
Also, when providing non-numeric values like `pass -c Email`, it copies the value in the line starting with "Email: " to clipboard.
