[qutebrowser] Using Keepass

[Jay Kamat]

Ah, I actually missed the mail where you said it didn't seem to work under
windows.

According to the userscript docs, there are some caveats when running
userscripts on windows, which looks like it might be impossible to run python
userscripts currently (it says only com, bat, or exe are supported on
windows). I haven't tried running them on windows though, so I cannot comment
on that:

I don't think that there are too many os-specific things in the userscript
itself (assuming you can get it to run at all). I personally don't have any
access to windows machines, so I can't work on that at all, but if you are
willing to find specific issues in the script, I'd be happy to try to resolve
them.

My guesses for incompatibility (in the script) are pykeepass not working (the
library that the script is using), lack of dmenu-compatible applications on
windows, and possible difficulty accessing PyQt5 on windows.
