tessen: an interactive menu to autotype and copy password store data on Wayland, like rofi-pass
tessen can use either bemenu, the wayland fork of rofi, or wofi to show password store data. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs root privileges.

tessen: autotype and copy password-store data on Wayland, like rofi-pass
I've made a script called tessen which is, more or less, a replacement of rofi-pass but for Wayland. It can use bemenu or the wayland fork of rofi. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs a daemon running with root privileges.

Wofi and Bemenu windows don't appear in sway tree
Applications like Wofi or Waybar use the wlr-layer-shell protocol to control their windows. Sway does not manage these windows so they will not appear in the tree. If you are familiar with X11, its somewhat analogous to the override-redirect flag.
