Feature Request: "Focus on Searchbar" Hotkey in 1PW app

Just a super basic feature request:

add the usual “Focus address/search bar” (CTRL+L, CMD+L) hotkey, as used in browsers/other apps, to the 1PW app to focus on the search bar for easier navigation using only keyboard.

Hi ​@Sunnyxpected, thanks for posting!

You should be able to focus the search bar in the 1Password desktop app by using Cmd + F on macOS or Ctrl + F on Windows and Linux.

There’s also the Quick Access shortcut, which brings up the app’s Quick Access menu with search focused. The shortcut for this is Option + Command + Backslash on macOS 27 or later, Command + Shift + Space on macOS 26 or earlier, and Ctrl + Shift + Space on Windows and Linux.

For the browser extension, you can open the extension with the search bar focused using the hotkey Cmd + Shift + X or Ctrl + Shift + X.

I hope this helps, but let me know if this doesn’t meet your needs, or you have any further questions!
