Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by inspecting how clippy handles clipboard contents and whether it can detect KeePass or other running applications; the desired blocking behavior and security implications need to be agreed before implementation. Done would require a documented decision, an implemented safeguard, and tests covering the KeePass interaction.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I use KeePass to manage passwords.
KeePass automatically copies a password into your clipboard and removes it after a short while.
Now obviously you can see where there is a security issue when running clippy at the same time.
Of course you could just manually disable clippy, but I would wish there was some sort of feature for this, maybe to block the copy to clippy db if KeePass is running or similar.
