pass-tmuxclip

pass-tmuxclip is an extension for the password store ("the standard unix password manager") that copies a stored password into the tmux paste buffer (as opposed to pass show --clip which copies into the system clipboard). This makes using pass more comfortable on systems that don't have an X session running and thus no system clipboard available.

Usage

pass tmuxclip [--clip[=line-number],-c[line-number]] pass-name

Paste the password (within tmux) with Ctrl-b Ctrl-].

The password will be deleted from the tmux paste buffer after 45 seconds (or $PASSWORD_STORE_CLIP_TIME if set).

Examples

pass tmuxclip email/gmail
pass tmuxclip -c2 email/gmail

You get the first line of a password file unless you specify a different line number using --clip[=line-number] or -c[line-number] (analogous to pass show --clip=line-number pass-name).

This extension's only function is a modified version of pass's original clip() function. That's why GPLv2 applies to this extension, too.
