> Storing such a 'text/confidential' string in the clipboard with mode 'QClipboard::Clipboard' works, and Klipper could handle it by not storing it in its history. But unfortunately the clipboard contents are of no use to any application. They check the clipboard with QMimeData::hasText(), which only returns true if there is data with a 'text/plain' mime type and retrieve data from clipboard by calling QClipboard::text(), which only returns 'text/plain' typed data. I didn't explain well. mimeData is key value pairs, you can have many pieces of mimeData. So we have text/plain with the password as before and x-kde-passwordManagerHint data "secret" We still use the text/plain mimeData for context, but klipper ignores entries where that other mimeData is present.
