New to both KDE Plasma and wayland - how can I make KeepassXC AutoType work?
New to both KDE Plasma and wayland - how can I make KeepassXC AutoType work?
Been using keepassxc for years under X.org. Haven't had a problem in years.Yesterday I decided it's time to use a full DE, and switch to wayland at the same time.Setting up my newly installed CachyOS, I'm having weirdly inconsistent troubles with keepassxc's autotype feature:Sometimes it just works, sometimes not.Typing into terminal windows seems to be particularly tricky, but I also noticed inconsistencies between Falkon and Firefos.
Sorry if it's a bit vague, I can't really pinpoint the issue (yet).
I remember that typing into other app windows is more restricted on wayland (as is right) and I even vaguely remember that Plasma has settings for allowing certain apps...?
I've also been reading keepassxc issues and it seems there will be a new feature coming out soon that deals with this elegantly, but not on my version, which is 2.7.12.
TIA
edit1:Keepassxc's AutoType is indeed not fully equipped for wayland, but there's a new release in the pipeline that fixes this. The brave can compile it from the development branch.
edit2:Hmm, no, still difficult. Now trying to get kepassxc and kdewallet to talk to each other, but that's tricky too.The edits suggested in that thread made Plasma go into a login loop :(After undoing that I'm just using keepssxc 2.8 (compiled from -git) and hoping it works well enough.
edit3:Here's another pitfall: for keepassxc 2.7. to run under wayland it needs qt5-wayland which isn't installed under Plasma, which runs on qt6. This isn't even an optional dependency. So keepassxc 2.7 then defaults to run under Xorg, i.e. xwayland and you don't even notice.
