How to use Goldwarden autotype feature in Linux KDE?

[MurzNN]

Please help me understand how to use Goldwarden autotype feature in Linux KDE?

I went through the steps described here https://github.com/quexten/goldwarden/wiki/System%E2%80%90wide-Autotype but still can't understand how to use it on Kubuntu 23.04 (Ubuntu with KDE).

In the KDE I configured a hotkey (Meta+C) to launch the command:

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.quexten.Goldwarden.autofill /com/quexten/Goldwarden com.quexten.Goldwarden.Autofill.autofill

Then I open an application with a login-password input fields, put focus on the password field.
Then, the Goldwarden window appears, where I can type the credentials name and find it.
But what to do after this?

If I click or even double-click on the credentials item - nothing happens, the window still there. The same is with "Enter" key.

If I click "P" - the "Password copied to the clipboard" message appears, but no password actually is copied to clipboard.

So, please explain how to use the autotype feature right?

Hmm, so hitting enter when having selected an entry should show a prompt to allow "remote desktop access" (for autotype). When you accept, it should autotype. And hitting p should copy the password properly. So there is something buggy here.

Is your KDE session on Wayland on X11?

On X11, here is the system information:

Operating System: Kubuntu 23.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10
Kernel Version: 6.5.0-14-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

Seems some lib, that should show the prompt, missing?

Not entirely sure yet about the autotype part, I'll test in a vm later today or tomorrow. Could be the kde portal, could be x11.

[MurzNN]

Yes, the wl-copy binary is missing. For x11 you can use something like echo "$password" | xsel -b or just xsel -b and directly put the string to the stdin.

Fixed on latest main by using GTK's clipboard instead.

Thanks, copy to clipboard now works well! The next great step is - autotyping it ;-)

[MurzNN]

For autotyping maybe we can reuse this package https://snyk.io/advisor/python/autotype ?

[quexten]

That could work. Alternatively, just pyautogui (since that has windows/mac support too, and supports key injection). I have not played around with the packages yet, to make a call.
