#1661 Keepass2x does not paste in terminal and was never able to
Ubuntu terminal keepass is unable to paste into it. I have to first paste into gedit and then from gedit copy and paste into terminal.
This as far as i remember has always been a problem that i have been overlooking till now, its starting to waste a lot of time.
There are also a few other programs that it also doesnt paste in. But i think if the terminal paste issue can be fixed then the others might work.
Im sure im not the only one with this bug problem?
As you can paste into gedit it is unlikely to be a KeePass issue.
Can you Auto-Type into the terminal window instead?
cheers, Paul
What do you mean by "Auto-Type" into the terminal window instead?
Keepass was never able to paste into terminal in Ubuntu. Ive tested it now on a fresh installation of Ubuntu with mono, you can test and see that it doesnt paste.
I found the solution.
The problem is that xsel needs to be installed so that it can solve some clipboard problems.

This problem actually should have been somewhat addressed or atleast notify users under https://keepass.info/help/v2/setup.html#mono and update that information.
It is!
"Clipboard:
On some systems, Mono's clipboard routines don't work properly. In this case, install the xsel and xdotool packages. If these are installed, KeePass uses them for clipboard operations."

So sorry, embarrassed to say that i must have missed that.!
