EDIT: Lol, it doesn’t actually work +___+ It is enabled in KeepassXC but it just doesn’t do anything. Welp.

Here’s a neat trick I just found out (with a hint from here):

In Wayland you can’t use KeepassXC’s very cool Auto-Type feature (it’s somehow Qt’s fault?) but if you installed it as a Flatpak you can go into KDE Settings, search for “Flatpak Permission Settings” and in the settings for KeepassXC under “Advanced” you can disable “Wayland Windowing System” to make it work. Nice!

    Using the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb should do the same thing, but it likely won’t fix your problem. These two methods allow KeepassXC to run on X11, which lets it access other X11 apps (running on XWayland), meaning native Wayland apps still won’t be able to use auto-complete.

    There’s probably no way around this for now, as this is due to Wayland’s design, which has stricter keyboard access safety, as opposed to X11 which just let all apps read/use the keyboard all the time.
