But that doesn't work. And typing strong passwords > sucks. Well, there has been the occasional discussion about the wishfulness of copy-pasting strong passwords. But it still itches. Being a non-C++ developer I'm not sure that my solution is the best, but hey, it works: Here is a patch against pinentry-0.8.1 to enable copy-pasting to pinentry-qt4. Works everywhere pinentry-qt4 is used: kgpg, Enigmail, etc. I'm happy ;-) http://koospol.nl/cms/index.php/computer/pinentry-qt4-en Enjoy!
