It looks like paste and it's almost the same from the user perspective, but the data never makes it to the clipboard, where it would be available to every running application.

From what I can see, KeePass does use the clipboard. [0]

Sorry, I didn't mean to speak with any authority on the specifics of KeePass. I'm neither a developer nor a user. I was just explaining the parent.

That said, the implementation probably differs on different platforms. 1Password, for example, uses a virtual "keyboard" on Android.

That's a different option (CTRL-C). You can copy and paste the username and password. There's a default clearing timeout that's more to ensure the user doesn't accidentally paste it elsewhere. The auto-type option I mentioned is different.

It actually falls back to the clipboard [0], in a huge number of situations [1]. Basically, if Windows Forms isn't available/reliable.

Paste draws from the clipboard.

You’re confusing console paste with windows paste

Yep, now I get it. Some addon does this override
