    Since the Technical FAQ states that "Cause: KeePass 2.x requires
    Microsoft .NET Framework ≥ 2.0.", who do you out there runs KeePass on Mac
    ? Do you compile and recompile again when a new version comes out ???

    Yes it runs on Macs. See these pages for more info.

    I installed keepass on mac and did not have a great experience (read on, I do have a solution)

    Now, I may not have done it correctly, but I did install mono and xquartz. Most of the features in keepass didn't work, the text boxes updated very poorly, no autotype, no copy username/password from entry list (I would have to open the entry and %C, switch to the website and %V).

    It worked, but it felt clunky (really delayed UI). I installed windows in a vbox vm and I run it in seamless mode (hides all of the windows desktop, I even auto-hide the taskbar - makes the keepass window seem like a native window on your mac desktop environment). Autotype doesn't work - but it wasn't working before anyways. However, now the UI is great and responsive, and copy+paste works just fine (even ^B and ^C for username and password copying, respectively. which also gives you the nice clipboard timeout).
