I also tested this with the latest KDE Linux (based on Arch) distribution in a VM. The problem does NOT exist there. I wonder how is it possible to use autotype on a Wayland session, since autotype does not work on Wayland and therefore is disabled on KeepassXC running in native Wayland mode. Perhaps is all about QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb Yes. It's the QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb environment variable. Without it, the Autotype tab under Settings > General in KeePassXC doesn't even show up. With it, the tab appears, we can set the keystroke combination and it will somewhat work. It can't figure out what username/password entry to use (I guess Wayland won't let it find out what window it's in) so I have to filter the choices by typing the site name in the Autotype window. But, it's a whole lot better than having to manually do a CTRL-B/CTRL-V/CTRL-C/CTRL-V dance between KeePassXC and wherever I need the password. It was irritating, but at least it worked correctly. With these random upper-case to lower-case transformation, KeePassXC has become almost unusable now (which is why I gave it a High severity level). All the quirks/glitches when trying using auto type on Wayland by using xcb are not / won't be addressed in the current Qt5 powered KeepassXC. The reason for having auto type disabled is because Qt5 support is poor. xcb is a workaround that should not be used. The migration to Qt6 is on progress, so soon the auto type will be enabled again https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/pull/11651/ |
