ritze / pinentry-dmenu Goto Github PK

When I run pinentry-dmenu under Sway, a Wayland window manager, its focus often get "stolen" by other (native Wayland) windows, making it impossible to type in a passphrase.

Would it be possible to support Wayland, perhaps with the help of https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu?

Hi,

I've run into problems with a debug message regarding default config; apparently it is directed to stdout, where gpg-agent takes offense and refuses to acknowledge the program as pinentry :C

The below message might also be intended to go to stderr? I'm not that sure.

Thanks for your efforts, btw, it's a neat tool!

The forked pinentry code raise some compiler warnings like unused variable and overflow warnings.

Since I don't use pinentry-dmenu anymore, I won't continue to develop on it.

But I see that enough people are interested in this project, so there are different solutions to continue. My proposal is the following:

• I can still accept small pull requests if I find time. But I won't find time or the motivation to review bigger pull requests.
• You can fork the project. I personally prefer that there will be only one fork and the development will continue under one roof. Everybody will benefit from it. Finally I can link the new repository of the fork within the README and archive this repository.

If you have a better solution in mind, feel free to discuss them here.

Hi,
Could you allow your program to check "${GNUPGHOME}" environment variable to store configuration file in a non standard directory ?
Thanks

It doesn't seem Yes/No buttons are customizable via SETOK and SETNOTOK. Also it seems there's no support for the cancellation button (via SETCANCEL).

It would be great to have implemented protocol parts documented in the README / manpage.

Add option to show the dmenu bar not globally but on the top/bottom of the window.

Hi,

thanks for this piece of software, I found it a few days ago and already love it!

The only thing I'm missing is the possibility to place and style the window a little more: the number of lines, its offsets and width. On my screen much of the text that explains which keys I shall unlock is cut off.

dmenu2 implements those features. I use dmenu2 daily for running applications, accessing my password-store database etc., and I like it very much to have the prompt in the middle of my screen.

As pinentry-dmenu is grabbing the keyboard it would also make sense to (optionally) have it pop up right in the middle of the screen, IMHO. I tend to overlook it as single line at the top (or bottom).

I'd love to see those "styling" features available in pinentry-dmenu!

I like your project, but, please, stop writing useless code to parse a configuration file with the sole purpose of providing dmenu options.

You could instead let the users supply a single string with all of the desired options for dmenu. This way you can dispose of a lot of code, respect the defaults of dmenu which you currently override (how dumb), and let the users supply all the options that will ever appear in dmenu.

pinentry-dmenu crashes after updating the system. I don't know yet, which package update causes this crash.
