Question

How to change behavior of Enter key in search box

I am using 1Password for Windows 8.2.2-39.BETA on a Windows 10 laptop.

Here is how search works in the application:
1. I type a word in the search box
2. Several search results appear
3. I hit the Enter key
4. The top search result is opened

Here is what I expected to happen
1. (Same as above)
2. (Same as above)
3. (Same as above)
4. All matching results are shown

After studying the interface more carefully, I see the prompt to hit Ctrl + Enter to 'Show all matching results'. This is counter-intuitive to how search works in most other applications I use. Please change the search behavior so that
* Enter key shows all matching results
* Ctrl+Enter key opens the top search result

Thanks for considering this suggestion.


1Password Version: 8.2.2-39.BETA
Extension Version: 2.0.7
OS Version: Windows 10

Hi @DannyD_PNG!

Thanks for your feedback. I can definitely see how this might be confusing. I can't make any promises, but I have filed your feedback internally.
