Keebuntu

KeePass 2.x plugins that provide Linux Desktop integration. These are primarily targeted for Ubuntu (but can work on other distros as well).

Status Notifier

Provides a notification tray icon for KeePass on Plasma/KDE5. Also works with GNOME desktop via gnome-shell-extension-appindicator (installed by default as a dependency of the ubuntu-desktop package).

Background

The built-in notification tray icon for KeePass does not display in the panel. This is because notification tray support for WinForms applications is broken in Mono.

Package

keepass2-plugin-status-notifier

Note: this package conflicts with keepass2-plugin-tray-icon (you can only have one of these installed at a time). Compare the usages to decide which package you want to install.

Usage

In KDE, left-clicking the icon trays and untrays the KeePass application. Right-clicking the icon displays the menu.

In GNOME Shell right-clicking and left-clicking both show the menu. Double-clicking will tray or untray the KeePass application.

The built-in notification tray icon for KeePass does not display in the panel. This is because the Ubuntu Unity Desktop only supports application indicator type tray icons. This plugin provides an alternative means of accessing the menu items of the tray icon.

Package

keepass2-plugin-launcher

Usage

Right-click on the KeePass 2.x icon in the launcher. You will find menu items such as Lock/Unlock Workspace and Generate Password….
