I have KeePass 2.23 running under mono in Ubuntu 13.10. It works very well but I cannot get the auto-type to work. The shortcut is correct because if I leave out "--auto-type", KeePass is run with Ctrl+Alt+A. I suspect that the malfunctioning has something to do with the xdotools (I tried one from the Ubuntu repository and I also tried to install different version manually).
Is there some way to debug this so that I find out what the problem is?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thanks Paul. I know of that requirement and both of the xdotools I tried have higher version than the one stated. I'm not sure that xdotools are at fault but I currently cannot think of anything else and I don't now how to find out.

Just in case it doesn't work, is there some debug mode with logging I could turn KeePass into so that I can see what's going on? Is there a way to know how KeePass is calling xdotool so that I can test it myself?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If you right-click onto a KeePass entry and choose 'Perform Auto-Type', does it send anything?
If you run KeePass with a terminal (e.g. right-click on KeePass.exe and open it with 'Mono Runtime (Terminal)', do you see any output produced during the auto-type process?
Best regards,

This page has details of the xdotools version required. http://keepass.info/help/v2/setup.html#mono
After that I don't know what to suggest.

You could try the Ubuntu forum.

You could also try the last development snapshot that I posted in the following thread:
https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329220/thread/0d255d22/
This invokes xdotool in a different way.

Thanks Dominik. I'll give it a try.

I've tried the new version and it hasn't changed anything for me so something else is the problem.
Do you have another package installed that works with the clipboard / keyboard?
cheers, Paul
