My original code has a mistake. It should call read twice instead of using \n 
as a delimiter (e.g. read -r pass; read -r -d '' rest). I think it would be 
best for me to test it out over the next week.


In the mean time, if anyone gets around to looking at it, let me know what you 
think!

Hi!


I've just recently started using pass and more specifically passmenu, and am 
very pleased with it :-)


The main feature I found that was immediately missing when switching over from 
keepassx, is the ability to autotype a username/password combination. I read 
through the mailing list archives and found this feature was already attempted 
here: 
https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/password-store/2015-December/001834.html<https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/password-store/2015-December/001834.html>


It doesn't seem like there was any response to this, but arbitrarily taking the 
second line doesn't seem ideal to me. I think my implementation is an 
improvement, because it leverages the suggested file format of "key: value" 
pairs after the first line.


In the included patch you will see that I've just added a --userfield flag 
which can be used as follows:

passmenu --type --userfield username [dmenu arguments...]


This corresponds to files which look like:

passw0rd

username: matt.snider


I personally use this by binding $mod+p to the regular passmenu invocation, and 
$mod+Shift+p to the invocation using --type and --userfield. This has been 
working very well for me.


Please let me know what you think and if you have some feedback.


Best,

Matt
