Ubuntu 15.10: Copy password from keepass2 to PhpStorm

Question

Hello I use KeePass2 for saving my passwords and PhpStorm for coding.

When I want to past (Strg+V) a password from KeePass to the PhpStorm terminal it doesn't work.

When I past the same password in my normal Ubuntu terminal it works perfect.

I read you have to install the package xsel if you want it to work but in my case it is still not working and the package is installed.

Has someone an solution?

If you use KeePass database file to store passwords, you can easely set password for that file, save and then open in KeePass manager, or migrate to other PHPStorm.

1. Go to Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | Passwords, enter new master password and save.
2. Open /.PhpStorm2017.1/config/c.kdbx (in "Keepass 2" or "Keeweb") with saved master password.
3. Here it is!
