Description

Sometimes, I need to fill something other than username/password, and it's currently difficult to do so. If I use the Keepass2Android keyboard and search for an entry, all it allows me to do is to select the different components of the entry which then auto-fills those fields. In order to view the entry to see other info, e.g. notes, to be able to copy/paste something else, I need to open Keepass2Android independently and search for the entry and select it that way.

There should be an option to open/view the entry from the keyboard so text can be manually copy/pasted or read/typed. For example, instead of selecting notes which attempts to paste the entirety of the notes, it should allow the user to view the notes, ideally allowing them to select the appropriate text and send it through the keyboard, avoiding the clipboard.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Keepass2Android keyboard flow: search for an entry and inspect how its components are currently presented and auto-filled. Done means the keyboard offers a way to view entry information such as notes, select relevant text, and send or copy it without opening the app independently.
