Question

Keyboard Shortcuts For Safari Extension?

The keyboard shortcuts for the Safari browser extension still use the old 1Password X ones--e.g., "Cmd + Shift + X" to show 1Password in Safari, and "Cmd + Shift + L" to lock 1Password. Can we customize these just like in the other browsers? Or at least mirror the custom shortcuts we have in the desktop app?

Also, the keyboard shortcut I set up for locking the 1P 8 Early Access app doesn't work anymore. I tried changing it, etc. When I'm on the Mac desktop, for example, the system reads my keyboard shortcut just as if I had pressed any letter. (For example, if you're on the Mac desktop screen and press a letter on your keyboard, it will select the first file/folder on the desktop that corresponds to the letter. In other words, there's some kind of bug that's causing the Mac to not send the command to lock the 1Password app. It over-rides it?)


1Password Version: Early Access 8.5
Extension Version: latest for Safari; 2.x.x
OS Version: macOS 12.1.x

Okay you can understand my confusion when I had previously right-clicked on the Safari extension and there are no keyboard shortcuts visible. As a Safari user, there's no way for me to learn about these.

Absolutely, @smilinggoat0, and I agree it would be preferable to discover these shortcuts within the extension itself than relying entirely on a support article. I've filed an internal request to make these shortcuts more visible for Safari users. Thanks for helping us identify this!

The conflict with Strikethrough is not isolated to Word; this strike through hotkey applies to nearly all "word processing" sites like Google Docs, Sheets, Notion, etc. It's pretty annoying to accidentally open 1password over and over again, because that hotkey has been around for very, very long time. This seems related to the newer Safari extension that was encouraged through the 1password 8 upgrade.

Well, that was helpful! Thanks everyone.

I have the same problem and would like to enter a custom shortcut. Any news?

+1 for a feature request to 1Password for Safari extension's activation keyboard shortcut to be user-specified, so that it doesn't clash with other well established features that 1P is breaking access to (as others have helpfully noted above).

Thanks,
Steve

@tgoldau No news at this time. However, I do see that our developers are discussing the matter. While I can't make any promises, I do hope that there will be a good solution for this in the future.
