status is exactly as in faq if you know what faq is https://grapheneos.org/faq#clipboard

DeletedUser471

mmobder please, citation.

userofgos

DeletedUser471 I don't understand. They already gave you a citation here mmobder

If you read the FAQ, you will know the status as it stands today.

There is an open issue tracker on github of that's what you're referencing: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/2917https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/2917

userofgos bro, don't be rude, I ask with a respect, because thats my buddies here, I just didn't see when I gave it a quick look. Thats just that issue drives me crazy. Thanks for gh link. I cant see the status still btw. Only that priority is set to max in late 2023 by stinger.

DeletedUser471 bro, don't be rude, I ask with a respect

I wasn't being rude, sorry if you read it that way. I'm still confused why you asked for citations, when it was clear that @mmobder already gave you one in the form of a link to the up-to-date info on the Official GrapheneOS website.

DeletedUser471 drives me crazy.

What drives you crazy?

The github issue is still "Open" which means that the status of the feature is still "in progress".

DeletedUser471 bro, it's classic "English, mtf, can you read it?"
both the faq and the issue, if you spend a minute applying some efforts, should cover your worries

DeletedUser471

userofgos ah, now I see what you guys meant. on gos site there is stance, on github it is issue status. regarding why this issue drives me crazy – password manager copy paste 😭 for example totp secret or other confidential things and if I just swipe with navigation gesture to wrong app (thx to vanadium there is block clipboard access global option for sites).

userofgos

DeletedUser471 According to god site app can see clipboard indeed, that's my worry.

Not entirely accurate. It's worth noting (as you eluded to here DeletedUser471) that:

the currently focused app can read the clipboard content. Apps without focus cannot read the clipboard.

mmobder now you didn't understand that I finally got it - on god site its actual feature status, and on gh its issue status. According to god site app can see clipboard indeed, that's my worry.

mmobder

userofgos Not entirely accurate

what a polite way to say it's bullshit and in fact it's the other way around, so no tik-tok scanning passwords in kb. So if KeePassDX us chosen as an input, no other app besides KPDX and the focused one can access the pwd

DeletedUser495

mmobder and even when any of the apps tries to access clipboard, you will get a toast notification about which app the access request came from (presuming you have the right setting turned on), isn't it? So, when I see some app doesn't like to play fair, I'd better stop using it.

and if i sensentive text and moved to some app by accident swiping navigation pill opposite way? i dont think every focused app should have access to it - not just toast about reading it - but toast to give it access or not (one time or everytime)

mmobder

DeletedUser471 in KeepassDX there is an option to wipe pwd from the clipboard after filling the field, unless I forgot something

DeletedUser471

mmobder bro, its not that im copying and pasting passwords everyday instead of inputing it via password fill feature in keyboards, it's about state-of-the-art security im playing with, and the issue is - i want to control clipboard so apps don't see my activity. and one more thing - i'm not pushing devs, just appreciating and supporting effort.
