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)

Another vote for ⌘+\ for quick fill! We're talking about years and years and years of muscle memory baked into that one...

Thanks StevenBedrick I resemble that remark with 14 years under my belt as a user of 1Password. :wink:

Please consider those of us not using US keyboards. In my case; Swiss keyboard, a backslash is SHIFT+OPTION+7, so I use CMD+ü instead. Being able to map keys is essential to our company.

I'm somewhat relieved to know that shortcut customization is still an "open issue internally," but I'm pretty stunned that AgileBits released this early access without either first attaining feature-parity with 1PW7 or, at minimum, alerting users that the early access version is not feature-complete.

Add me to the list of users who require keyboard customization. I've been using 1PW for 13 years and am not going to retrain my brain simply because AgileBits was too lazy to implement.

I know ⌘+\ is missing, but is there some other keyboard shortcut for autofill in Safari? I've been searching around for the answer with no luck, and none of the shortcuts I'm trying are working.

We thought that calling it the "Early Access" and not even the beta, would make it clear that the build is not close to be feature-complete. Obviously, we made a mistake there.

In any case, thank you for the feedback on the keyboard shortcuts!

@roustem
You did call it "Early Access." You also call it BETA.

I am not able to use my F19 key as my custom shortcut. When will this be available?
