Prevent 1Password Safari extension from using Command+Shift+X

I see the 1Password web extension's manifest.json tells Safari that Command+Shift+X should open the extension popover:

```
"commands": {
"_execute_browser_action": {
"suggested_key": {
"default": "Ctrl+Shift+X",
"mac": "Command+Shift+X"
}
},
"lock": {
"name": "lock",
"suggested_key": {
"default": "Ctrl+Shift+L",
"mac": "Command+Shift+L"
},
"description": "Lock the extension"
}
},

```
Is there any way to disable this or change ? I use this as a global shortcut on my Mac for something else.


1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: 2.3.3 (20207)
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

+1 I would like the team to prioritize this as it really impacts my productivity. I use command-shift-x strikethrough keyboard shortcut all the time.

Thank you for your feedback @DribbleMott, I have added your voice to the internal discussion.

+1 very frustrating that 1password is hijacking Command-Shift-X. I'm forced to disable 1Password to use Google Doc strike through.

Update: I found through the Chrome 1Password extension settings the ability to change the shortcut which opens the extension. The default conflicting shortcut was still disruptive and should be changed.

Hey @riicard,

You're right, you can modify this shortcut in Chrome.

I'm sorry for any disruption caused!

+1. This conflicts with a shortcut I use frequently in Google Docs.

I wonder if adding telemetry to the product will get you to fix this 🙄

We do a ton of work in Google Docs/Sheets; have had to uninstall the 1pass extension for now - please add my vote to a "disable / reassign kbd shortcut" thing

(in practice we're advising staff to save commonly used passwords in their Apple Keychain until this is fixed - but that's not exactly ideal)

Thanks for sharing this @howiem, I have passed this on to the team.

Another option would be to use a different browser other than Safari and within here you have the ability to change the shortcut.

I'm sorry for the disruption, let us know if you have any questions.
