gopass

This is a curses based version of pass, and it uses the same database. Note that you need to start gpg-agent see gpg-agent. But this will be done automatically otherwise. It will ask for a password again after your specified timeout. That's probably the next day with the home settings used.

clipboard

The clipboard functionality does not work, for now this is a showstopper and i install keepass and kpcli.

Problem :

gopass show -c main/hoek
# the interface says the password is now in the clipboard 45 seconds
xclip -o # show whatever you selected but not the password
xsel --output # same here
gpaste-client # shows a completely different clipboard (vim ?!)

Also of course the middle mouse shows the clipboard but not the password.

todo: see if you can find out what goes wrong.

change pinentry

The password should be entered to gpg (gpg-agent) but the default one is pinentry-gnome3 and it is a horrible modal dialog where you have no opportunity to find and paste your password.

Change it right away to the curses one. You could do this for pgp-agent alone but just do it system-wide to get rid of this horror :

sudo su
cd /etc/alternatives
rm pinentry
ln -s /usr/bin/pinentry-curses pinentry

If you now run pinentry it should just say :

pinentry
OK Pleased to meet you

But for gpg-agent to use it add this entry to ~/.
