#2613 Buttons to copy user name and password
I would like to suggest a small "Copy to clipboard" icon (button) next to the User name and Password fields in the Edit Entry dialog.
This, when using the mouse, would eliminate the need to select the whole user name (or password) and press Ctrl-C or click the edit field and press Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, or Tab my way to the fields and Ctrl-C.
Thank you.
Right click > Copy User Name...
cheers, Paul
Not exactly. I am talking about the Edit Entry dialog, you seem to be talking about the entry list, where I can simply double-click the field I want to copy anyways. I also know I can copy the user name and password by right-clicking on the respective fields themselves in the Edit Entry dialog and choosing Copy but it would make things faster to have small dedicated buttons next to the User Name field and the Password field that could be clicked.
The point has been made many times in this forum that people should not be using the Edit Entry dialog for copying information from KeePass to other applications, Web sites, etc. This work habit puts the entries accessed in this way in danger of unintentional edits. Most information can be accessed directly from the main screen, and this screen can be reconfigured (on its own or with plugins such as KPEnhancedEntryView) to allow access to whatever you might need.
Yes, indeed, my suggestion would help to also make it easier for people who might inadvertently change their entries otherwise.
