Right, all I wanted was being able to copy the password and at the same
time having in on stdout in one go using the "show" command + the --clip
parameter, avoiding the piping dance. The inline documentation says:

pass [show] [--clip[=line-number],-c[line-number]] pass-name
    Show existing password and optionally put it on the clipboard.
    If put on the clipboard, it will be cleared in 45 seconds.

which led me to think it was possible but apparently it is not. Not a
big deal anyway.

Thanks!
