Question

Lack of customizable shortcuts

I can't believe there isn't more ruckus about this on the forums, but the lack of customizable keyboard shortcuts makes v8 a complete non-starter for me. Probably six years ago I picked Cmd+period to be my autofill shortcut, and Cmd+Shift+period to be my "show helper" shortcut. If 1P8 doesn't offer me the ability to customize those shortcuts (as literally every other password manager does, even the really shitty ones), there's absolutely no way I can use it. That muscle memory is so deeply ingrained; it would take a herculean (and completely pointless!) effort to overwrite.


1Password Version: 8 early access
Extension Version: N/A
OS Version: macOS 12.0 Beta (21A5294g)

Hi @mpcsh!

Thank you for the feedback! You are right, keyboard shortcut customization has not made it into this Early Access version yet, but I see an open issue internally for this, so this is certainly on our developers' radar. I think this should make it into the app by the time we release the first stable version in the future :+1:

+1 for keyboard shortcut for autofill!! I really miss my shortcut (command and backslash) for autofill in the browser. Hope this makes its way into the final release, otherwise I see myself sticking with v7.x for a while longer.

I'm working on allowing users to customize their keyboard shortcuts today so hopefully you won't have to wait too long until you can set yours up just the way you like.

I miss ⌘-\ too so I'm hoping that makes a glorious return. I'm not sure if browsers will allow our extension to capture that shortcut for the purposes of Auto Fill but I trust our Browser Experience team to figure out something great!

@ag_andrew
Please bring keyboard customization into the Windows EA, too. ;)

@DenalB One of the unsung benefits of the way we've architected our new apps is that those sorts of changes are very often cross-platform by default. We can make a change in the Core library at the heart of our apps and all the front-ends need to adopt the changes or they won't even build. This has lead to a level of consistency that we have been unable to achieve until now.

Sounds great! Thanks @ag_andrew ! 👍

I agree entirely with this thread, I am very much missing Command + \

I absolutely hate the inline filler as it often does not work on websites I use, so having that keyboard shortcut is a must. Looking forward to getting this back ASAP.

@SpaceSwift I hear you, I miss ⌘\ too.

In the meantime, please do let us know which websites are giving the inline menu trouble. Even if you're not a fan, we can fix it up and make it work properly for other users 💜

Love the new v8.... but ahhhh..... my whole workflow got messed up with not being able to customize the shortcuts. Looking forward to the update :)
