> 4. No autotype on desktop - This isn't quite as big of a deal, since most programs will let you copy/paste passwords just fine, but as far as I can tell no pass desktop clients include support for auto-typing login credentials. For many non-web apps that require passwords that feature is extremely helpful.

I may not understand what you mean by "autotype on desktop", but I use the dmenu password-store extension which is the executable "passmenu". It allows the command line option "--type" which is quite close I think to what you desire.

Yeah, that's basically what autotype is on KeePass; except KeePass is a bit more flexible since it lets you configure custom autotype sequences (e.g. `<username><tab><password><tab><enter>`) on a per-application basis.

This seems like a fairly decent substitute if you're on Linux. Doesn't look like it'll work on Windows or MacOS though.

rofi-pass (based on rofi, a dmenu alternative) allows for custom autotype sequences.
