Hello @abhimohit99,

If you go to 1Password in the browser settings, you can change the default shortcuts there to whatever you want. However, there are some reserved shortcuts in the browser that users can't set on an extension, and "Ctrl+\" is an example.

With that said, thank you for sending us an email. We can continue working on our trouble there and update the results here.

Thanks for your response!

As I mentioned in the thread above:

As for the browser extension, I believe there are numerous combinations that can be used. For example with Windows you can use any combination of Control or Alt + optionally Shift + an alphanumeric character. That gives more than 50 different key combinations which don't interfere with the default browser shortcuts (such as ctrl+r or ctrl+e).

I'm not quite sure why this is a limitation as another open-source password manager - Bitwarden - lets you lock/unlock and activate the extension like 1Password does, but also lets you autofill the last used login for a page with a keyboard shortcut, along with giving you the ability to generate a password using another keyboard shortcut. If this were a limitation with Chrome extensions I don't think they'd have been able to do this.

What exactly is the issue with implementing a similar solution with 1Password?
