Hi all,
Attaching a patch to add support for --sensitive flag in wl-copy
invocations.
wl-clipboard landed a change recently in 2.3.0[0,1] that adds support
for a --sensitive flag. It sets a hint (also shared by other password
managers such as KeePassXC) that marks the clipboard as sensitive.
Other tools (such as cliphist) can then decide to ignore contents. I've
tested this against cliphist[2], which ignores all `pass -c` contents
and they are not recorded in the cliphist history.
The patch is straight-forward, and checks for `--sensitive` via a grep
on the `--help` command. Other options (checking for --version, or
calling it twice) seemed worse.
Thanks,
Nemo
