Keepassxc: Show countdown for clipboard clearing

Created on 14 Apr 2018  Â·  6Comments  Â·  Source: keepassxreboot/keepassxc

This would be an enhancement request. A feature the old Keepass application had that I like was a little timer or countdown clock indicator that showed you how much time before the copy buffer was going to be cleared. It would be nice if Keepassxc had something like that.

Expected Behavior



This change/improvement, it's fairly well described above. Just some small indication how much time is left for the copy buffer is cleared. I think this would be useful, especially for new users.

Current Behavior



There is no countdown clock feature, that I know of.

Possible Solution



Provide an option to turn on a countdown clock. I imagine some people may find it annoying.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Context



Some people can be confused when they can't copy and paste their password anymore. They might forget there is a time in which the copy buffer will be cleared.

That is how it will be implemented, perhaps with a timer as well

I also greatly miss this feature of original KeePass.

Propose to change the title "Show countdown progress bar for clipboard clearing".

I just moved from KeePass to KeePassXC and was missing "something". How is this even possible to not have this feature?

Looking forward to see this on October 31, 2020 ;-)

...they haven't coded it in yet?

Well, I can not see any option to activate/display it...

BUT, if I am right, it is on the roadmap for v.2.7.0 by October 31. So, let's see.
